Sensex Tumbles Over 600 Points, Nifty Below 25,550; Trade-War Fears Hit Sentiment

In early Monday trade, Indian equity benchmarks experienced a more pronounced downturn as trade-war concerns and mixed earnings results rattled market confidence.

The BSE Sensex plunged over 600 points intra-day, dragging the index down sharply, while the Nifty 50 slid below the 25,550 mark as investors adopted a risk-off stance. Renewed fears of global trade conflict weighed on sentiment, overshadowing any domestic support.

Major laggards included sector-heavyweights such as ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Bharti Airtel, with share prices dipping between 1–3%. The combination of mixed quarterly results and rising macro uncertainty prompted sellers to step in across multiple segments, including financials and cyclicals.

Market breadth remained weak across broader indices, with mid-cap and small-cap stocks struggling to sustain early gains. Traders noted that elevated crude prices and currency volatility contributed to the cautious trading environment.

Analysts expect markets to remain volatile in the coming sessions with upcoming global trade developments and domestic earnings likely to shape near-term direction.
