    Bear Market's Red Ruin
    Synopsis

    Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended lower on Tuesday, after the United States issued a draft notice to impose tariffs of up to 50% on Indian goods starting Wednesday. The trade shock was the biggest drag on sentiment, with investors also digesting other pressure points, from currency moves to foreign investors selling, compounding the decline.

    The S&P BSE Sensex fell 849.37 points or 1% to close at 80,786.54 level, while the NSE Nifty 50 dropped 255.70 points or 1%, to end at the 24,712.05 mark. The market capitalization of all listed companies on the BSE shrank by Rs 6.02 lakh crore to Rs 449.38 lakh crore.

    Pharmaceuticals shares shed 1.7%, with heavyweight Sun Pharma down over 3% after BofA downgraded the stock to 'underperform', citing risks to premium valuations.

    In single-stock moves, Vodafone Idea tumbled as much as 10% after reports suggested the government was unlikely to provide further relief on its long-standing dues.
    Broader markets also came under pressure, with mid-cap shares down 1.6% and small-caps sliding 2%.

    Why is the stock market down today? Sensex drops over 600 pts, Nifty below 24,800 — 7 reasons behind the slump
    1. U.S. tariffs take effect at midnight
    2. Profit booking after last week’s rally
    3. FII selloff
    4. Rupee weakness
    5. Global markets decline
    6. Crude oil near 2-week high
    7. Technical signals flag caution

    London Stock Exchange wins first approval for private share platform

    The London Stock Exchange has become the first company to win regulatory approval to operate a new platform allowing investors to trade shares in private companies, Britain's financial watchdog said on Tuesday.

    The Financial Conduct Authority said the approval of the LSE as an operator of a Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES) platform marked a "major milestone" in an effort to boost growth and unlock capital markets.

    Britain set out draft rules last year to allow trading in private companies on regulated exchanges in the hope of stemming delistings and outflows from UK capital markets and offering private firms a quicker route to new investors.

    The LSE plans to launch its private securities market later this year. The PISCES design will be delivered initially through a "sandbox", which allows the FCA to test the design before a permanent regime is finalised in 2030.

    Markets face 4% upside, 11% downside risk from current levels despite policy push: Amish Shah

    Speaking to ET Now, Amish Shah said that while the government and the Reserve Bank of India are doing their bit to stimulate demand through policy measures, the market’s upside remains capped. “The fair value for Nifty by the end of the year is 25,000. Since we are already around those levels, we think the incremental upside is very limited. In the best case, there can be a 4% upside, but in the worst case, we see an 11% correction,” he noted.

    Bonds Market Updates | India Infradebt to issue 12-year bonds, bankers say

    09:46:39 AM IST, 26 Aug 2025

    Despite sluggish earnings growth and headwinds like high tariffs, the market continues to be resilient and a resilient market co-existing with tepid earnings growth has made India the most expensive market in the world. Consequently FIIs have been sustained sellers; but massive DII buying totally eclipsing FII selling is supporting the market even amidst strong headwinds. Since the principal reason for the market’s resilience is liquidity and liquidity flows are likely to sustain, the market is unlikely to correct significantly and the elevated valuations may continue. As a measure of abundant caution, investors may avoid unjustifiably expensive smallcaps and focus on largecaps which are reasonably fairly valued
