Market Wrap: Sensex ends 296 points lower, Nifty below 24,800 after brushing off Trump tariff salvo
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. ADVERTISEMENT 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. 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. 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%. Adani Enterprises declined 4% after reporting a drop in first-quarter profit, hurt by subdued coal demand. ADVERTISEMENT The consumer goods sector rose 1.4%, the day's top gainer, led by Hindustan Unilever. Shares of the FMCG major climbed 3.4% as a revival in rural demand and a refreshed product portfolio lifted quarterly earnings. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks each lost about 1%. ADVERTISEMENT Following a turbulent start driven by fresh tariff threats, the Indian market started on a pessimistic note, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, adding that the domestic market, however, attempted "a strong recovery but by the end of the day it closed with marginal losses, on a monthly expiry day." "Investors gravitated toward domestically oriented, non-discretionary players, especially FMCG, which offered attractive valuations, demand outlook and relative insulation from tariff risks. In contrast, oil & gas stocks were the worst hit due to US warnings over Indian energy imports. Overall, the market reflected a cautious yet selective approach. Market continues to hold high hopes for a more favorable tariff outcome in the near-term," said Nair. ADVERTISEMENT As the new series begins, the market is likely to consolidate, but global developments and corporate earnings will continue to drive volatility, said Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking, adding that "we maintain our cautious stance and recommend a stock-specific approach, given the mixed trends across sectors. Traders should also avoid averaging down on loss-making positions." (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)

Rupee recovers 22 paise from all-time low to close at 87.58 against US dollar
Mumbai, Jul 31 (PTI) The rupee recovered 22 paise from its all-time low to 87.58 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday, amid lower crude prices and suspected RBI interventions, after US President Donald Trump's announcement of 25 per cent tariffs on Indian imports and a penalty for buying Russian Crude. Forex traders said the rupee, after plunging 89 paise, logging its steepest single-day fall in over three years on Wednesday, recovered some lost ground but the broader outlook remains cautious. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 87.66 against the greenback, touched an intra-day low of 87.74 and a high of 87.51 against the American currency. At the end of Thursday's trading session, the local unit settled at 87.58 (provisional), down 22 paise over its previous closing price. Forex traders said following the US' imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports triggered risk-off sentiment and heightened concerns regarding further rupee depreciation. Till there is clarity on the tariff front, pressure on the rupee is likely to persist, CR Forex Advisors MD Amit Pabari said, adding that a meaningful reversal can only be expected if the pair breaks below 87.20, which currently acts as a key support level. On Wednesday, the rupee closed at an all-time low of 87.80 against the US dollar after America announced a sweeping 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports in the absence of a trade deal ahead of the August 1 deadline. It was not clear if the 25 per cent duty will be imposed in addition to the existing 10 per cent baseline tariff. The 10 per cent tariff, which currently applies to most Indian goods barring a few, was announced by Trump on all countries on April 2. Also, the exact quantum of the penalty is unclear. Meanwhile, negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement are on as a US team is visiting New Delhi on August 25 for the sixth round of talks. The top officials of the two countries concluded the fifth round recently in Washington. 'While the RBI may also intervene in the spot market to control volatility, the broader outlook remains cautious. If the rupee continues to face downward pressure then could potentially test the resistance level of 88 should trade tensions escalate further," said Harsimran Sahni, EVP & Head – Treasury, Anand Rathi Global Finance. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined 296.28 points, or 0.36 per cent, to close at 81,185.58, while the Nifty fell 86.70 points, or 0.35 per cent, to settle at 24,768.35. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose by 0.03 per cent to 99.84. Brent oil prices fell 0.67 per cent to USD 72.75 per barrel. Meanwhile, the US Fed held interest rates steady and signalled it is too early to consider rate cuts, which has supported the dollar throughout the month of July. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 850.04 crore on a net basis on Wednesday, according to exchange data.
