Indian equity markets ended Mondayโ€™s session flat as strength in FMCG counters offset weakness across broader sectors. The Nifty 50 closed marginally higher by just 0.30 points at 25,461.30, while the Sensex edged up 9.61 points to end at 83,442.50. Investors remained cautious as global market sentiment softened following the postponement of U.S. tariff announcements.

The session saw muted participation with the Nifty trading within an 82-point intraday range. Geopolitical uncertainty and vague signals from the U.S. administration on trade policies added to the sense of caution among market participants.

๐ŸŒ Global Cues: Trade Jitters Keep Investors on Guard

Asian markets mirrored the weak tone as U.S. President Donald Trump delayed clarity on proposed tariff hikes. He hinted at a potential 10% tariff on countries perceived to support BRICS-aligned policiesโ€”raising diplomatic concerns, particularly for India, a BRICS member. Formal trade announcements are expected by July 9, with possible implementation starting August 1.

These developments contributed to the dayโ€™s subdued trading mood globally and domestically.
