📉 Market Performance – March 10, 2025

Indian equity markets closed lower on Monday as investor sentiment remained cautious due to global trade concerns and rising market volatility. The session saw selling pressure across most sectors, with broader market segments witnessing steeper declines.

• Sensex: 74,115 (-217 points, -0.29%)

• Nifty 50: 22,460 (-92 points, -0.29%)

• Nifty Bank: 48,498 (-130 points)

This decline followed a strong performance last week when key indices gained nearly 2%, driven by bargain hunting after an extended market sell-off erased over $1 trillion from India’s market capitalization.

📊 Broader Market & Volatility

• Nifty Midcap: -1.53%

• Nifty Smallcap: -1.97%

India VIX, a measure of market volatility, spiked by 3.08%, reflecting an increase in investor uncertainty compared to the previous session.

🌍 Global Trade & Economic Concerns

India is currently negotiating a trade agreement with the U.S., as American authorities continue to raise concerns over high tariffs. A potential increase in tariffs could have widespread economic implications:

✅ Impact on Domestic Growth – Higher tariffs may slow India’s economic expansion.

✅ Inflationary Pressures – Increased costs on imports may raise inflation concerns.

✅ Foreign Investment Flows – A slowdown in U.S. growth could impact foreign investment in emerging markets, including India.

Additionally, the U.S. has officially canceled 83% of its financial aid commitments, adding another layer of uncertainty in global markets.

📈 Sectoral Performance

Only Nifty FMCG managed to close in the green, while Nifty Realty, Nifty Oil & Gas, and Nifty PSU Bank led the declines.

🔹 Top Gainers: Hindustan Unilever, Power Grid, Infosys

🔻 Top Losers: IndusInd Bank, Trent, ONGC
