All Nifty 50 Stocks in Red

In a rare sight, all 50 Nifty constituents opened in the red, signaling the depth of market pessimism. Among the worst hit were:

• Trent
• Tata Steel
• JSW Steel
• Tata Motors
• ONGC

Sectoral Breakdown: Metals & IT Worst Hit

• The Nifty Metal index plunged over 7%, as traders feared reduced global demand and retaliatory duties.
• The Nifty IT index also fell close to 7%, reflecting concerns of a global economic slowdown impacting tech exports.

Midcaps and smallcaps were not spared either, with the Nifty Midcap index dropping 4% and Smallcap index plummeting 5%, intensifying the market-wide rout.

Expert Take: Risk-Off Mode Is Here

Market analysts say the current sell-off is part of a larger risk-off wave sweeping global equities, as investors brace for the financial fallout of deteriorating trade relations.

“Until clarity emerges on the tariff stand-offs, Indian markets are likely to remain volatile,” one strategist noted, urging traders to maintain caution and limit aggressive bets.

What’s Next?

With global markets in panic mode, and uncertainty surrounding international trade relations mounting, Indian equities may remain under pressure in the coming days. All eyes will be on updates from Washington, Beijing, and other key trading partners as the world navigates a rapidly shifting economic landscape.
