Live: Markets watch reciprocal tariffs; how will Nifty move this week? | Opening Bell

Nifty slipped in a rangebound last session, with the Nifty Midcap 100 falling 0.3 percent and Smallcap indices also in the red. IT and Realty stocks emerged as the top laggards, dragging the index lower, while FMCG stocks remained in positive territory. IT heavyweights like TCS and Wipro saw declines of 2 to 4 percent, contributing to the market's weakness. Despite this, markets remained positive for the second straight financial year, with Nifty rising over 5 percent in FY25. Out of 50 Nifty stocks, 27 ended positive in FY25, with 16 surging 10 percent or more. Meanwhile, investors are keenly watching the reciprocal tariffs set to be announced tomorrow. This morning, global cues were mixed. US markets ended mixed overnight, while futures slipped amid reciprocal tariff uncertainty. Asian markets, meanwhile, started the day on a positive note. Among stocks, watch out for auto names, Hindustan Aeronautics, and Varun Beverages today's trading session.
