Synopsis : Indian markets extended their sharp fall on Tuesday as global uncertainty, Fed rate fears, and sustained foreign outflows pushed sentiment deep into negative territory. Broad-based weakness across IT, auto, metals and financials added to the pressure, with only PSU banks showing resilience.
Sensex Today | Nifty50 | Stock Market LIVE Updates :
Indian equities witnessed another steep drop on Tuesday, continuing the sharp slide from the previous session. Both the Sensex and Nifty traded significantly lower as investors remained anxious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate decision and ongoing uncertainty surrounding a key U.S. trade agreement.
The Sensex tumbled 450 points, while the Nifty50 fell below the 25,850 mark, reflecting the prevailing risk-off sentiment. Broader indices also opened weak, with nearly all sectoral gauges trading in the red.
Sectoral Breakdown
The selling pressure was widespread:
IT and Auto stocks took the hardest hit as global cues weakened and rupee volatility spiked.
Pharma, Metals, Financials, and Mid-Caps also witnessed notable declines.
Consumer-linked stocks showed muted activity, with cautious buyers staying on the sidelines.
The only bright spot was the PSU banking space, where selective accumulation helped offset the broader market weakness.
Top Reasons Behind the Market Fall
Analysts pointed to five major triggers driving Tuesday’s sell-off:
U.S. Fed outcome jitters ahead of the monetary policy decision
Global markets trending lower, adding to the nervousness
Foreign investor outflows deepening, weighing heavily on equities
Nifty expiry–linked volatility boosting intraday swings
Weakening rupee, adding another layer of strain on IT and import-heavy sectors
Global Market Snapshot
Global sentiment also remained fragile:
S&P 500 futures were largely unchanged as of 12:45 p.m. Tokyo time
Japan’s Topix inched up 0.1%
Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.3%
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell sharply by 0.9%
Shanghai Composite dipped 0.1%
Euro Stoxx 50 futures remained flat
With no strong domestic triggers and global uncertainty rising, markets are expected to remain volatile until clarity emerges from the Federal Reserve.
