Stock Market Highlights: Sensex settles 296 pts lower after volatile session, Nifty below 24,800; Tata Steel drops 3%, Sun Pharma 2%
Economic Times |
Synopsis
Indian equities ended lower on Thursday but trimmed steeper early losses, as investors interpreted the U.S.’s proposed 25% tariff and unspecified penalties, set to take effect August 1, as a negotiating ploy rather than a definitive policy shift.
The BSE Sensex shed 296.28 points, or 0.36%, to close at 81,185.58, while the NSE Nifty slipped 86.70 points, or 0.35%, to settle at 24,768.35. Both indexes had fallen nearly 0.9% earlier in the session.
The benchmarks slid nearly 1% in early trade after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on India, effective August 1, along with an unspecified penalty. He added that negotiations with India were ongoing. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks each lost about 1%. Textile stocks were among the hardest hit by the tariff announcement, with Welspun Living, Vardhman Textiles, KPR Mills, and Gokaldas Exports falling between 3.2% and 5.1%.
For the month, both the Sensex and Nifty dropped around 3%, with broader markets underperforming amid sustained foreign outflows and weak earnings from IT firms and major financials.
1) Trump threatens 25% tariff, penalty
2) Fed dampens rate cut hopes
3) Rise in Crude Oil Prices
4) Continued FII selling adds pressure

FIIs bet on these 11 microcap stocks; one turns multibagger in FY26
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) are steadily increasing their investments in India’s smallest companies. Within the Nifty Microcap 250 index, they raised their stakes in 108 stocks in the June quarter compared to the March quarter.

So far in FY26, the Nifty Microcap index has delivered a return of around 16%, outperforming the broader benchmark Nifty index, which has risen by about 6% during the same period. This highlights a growing investor appetite for high-growth opportunities in smaller, lesser-known companies. Read more
