The domestic equity market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open lower on Monday, following mixed global market cues.
The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a negative start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 25,173.50 level, a discount of 48.4 points from the Nifty futures' previous close.
Sensex and Nifty 50, declined for the third straight day on Friday, dropping by nearly 1% due to significant selling in the IT, auto, and energy sectors amid a sluggish start to the earnings season.
Analysts pointed out that uncertainties surrounding tariffs and mixed signals from global markets further exacerbated the decline.
The Sensex fell by 689.81 points or 0.83%, finishing at 82,500.47. During the trading session, it saw a dip of 748.03 points or 0.89%, hitting a low of 82,442.25.

Nifty 50 remains under pressure, having breached the previous swing low on the hourly chart and slipped below the 21 EMA on the daily timeframe. Short-term momentum continues to be weak, as indicated by the RSI's negative crossover. However, following the recent decline, the index is now testing support near the 200-hour moving average. A sustained move above the 25,150–25,160 zone in the early trades could pave the way for an upswing towards 25,250 and 25,400. On the downside, key support levels are seen at 25,090 and 24,900.
Open Interest Analysis: Significant open interest additions were observed in 25,000 Puts and while heavy OI additions were seen at 25,300 Calls; Put writings were relatively muted on Friday. Maximum OI buildup was seen at 25,500 CE. Meanwhile, substantial put writing at the 25,000 strike.
Strategy: As the index has reached near its support level, a small bounce from the current level can't be ruled out.

Despite Trump's 25% Tariff, How India Still Beats Pakistan, Bangladesh On Trade Balance

New Delhi: Even as U.S. tariffs on Indian goods climb to 25 percent, the numbers tell a more layered story. Despite the blow, India still holds a stronger position in trade dynamics than some of its closest neighbours. In 2024, Indian products entering the American market faced an average effective tariff of 17.4 percent. That is lower than the 19.9 percent slapped on Bangladeshi goods, the 18.1 percent faced by Pakistan and Sri Lanka's 19.2 percent. These figures come from a recent analysis by Moneycontrol that measured the effective duties levied by the United States on major South Asian exporters. U.S. President Donald Trump, who reimposed tough trade penalties last month, had pointed fingers at India in a strongly worded post on July 30. 'Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the world. They have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country… INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST,' he wrote on Truth Social. However, data on what economists call the tariff differential, the gap between what a country pays in U.S. tariffs versus what it charges on American imports, suggests India's trade relationship with Washington remains more balanced than many others in the region. India's tariff differential currently stands at 11.3 percentage points. That is significantly narrower than Bangladesh's 17.2-point gap or Pakistan's 13.6 points. Another regional exporter, Vietnam faces a 13-point spread. Bangladesh's position appears the most lopsided: its exports are hit by the highest U.S. tariffs, but it barely charges American goods in return. Meanwhile, India maintains an average 6.1 percent tariff on U.S. imports, more than Bangladesh but less than others, offering a cushion against the recent spike from Washington. Neighbouring Asian countries such as Thailand and the Philippines fare slightly better in terms of tariff balance, with gaps at 6.4 and 9.8 points respectively. But their trade mix is different, heavily skewed towards electronics and intermediate goods. India's exports to the United States, on the other hand, lean heavily on pharmaceuticals, garments, jewellery and consumer products. These sectors are more vulnerable to tariff hikes. While India's trade ties with Washington remain under strain, the data reflects that it may still be navigating the turbulence more stably than its regional peers.

'Unreasonable': India hits back at Trump tirade on Russian oil

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar (ANI file photo) In its first direct public pushback against US President Donald Trump's repeated targeting of India over trade with Russia, the Centre termed his criticism "unjustified and unreasonable". It said like any major economy, New Delhi will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security. In an official statement, ministry of external affairs said the US itself continues to import uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry and fertilisers as well as chemicals from Russia. The response, a rare outpouring of frustration with Trump's rants, followed another outburst by the US president in which he accused India of buying massive amounts of Russian Oil and selling it in the open market for big profits, while threatening to substantially raise tariffs on imports from India. MEA added that India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to Indian consumers and are a necessity compelled by global market situation. "...It is revealing that the very nations criticising India in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion," said spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

US effective tariff on Indian goods jumped to 20.7% from 2.4% last year: Fitch Ratings

Synopsis Fitch Ratings reports a significant increase in US tariffs on Indian goods by 2025. This rise to 20.7% from 2.4% may hinder India's economic expansion. Goldman Sachs has already lowered India's growth forecasts. HDFC Bank also anticipates a GDP growth reduction. Moody's Ratings suggests potential challenges for India's manufacturing sector. However, India's economy is expected to remain resilient. Agencies New Delhi: The US effective tariff rate on Indian goods rose to 20.7% in 2025, up from 2.4% in 2024, due to the addition of an 18.3 percentage point increase this year, according to Fitch Ratings. The increase in tariffs poses some downside risk to India's economic growth. Overall, the US effective tariff rate is now 17%, around 8 percentage points lower than April 3 estimate, when higher reciprocal tariffs were originally announced, it said on Monday. "The US tariff rate of 17% reflects a 15% tariff rate on EU goods, including auto and auto parts, and higher tariffs for major trading partners Brazil, Taiwan, India and Switzerland," it added. Last week, US President Donald Trump announced 25% tariff on Indian goods, along with an unspecified additional penalty related to India's energy dealings with Russia. Goldman Sachs on Monday cut India's economic growth forecast to 6.5% for 2025 and 6.4% for 2026, due to US tariffs. "In our view, some of these tariffs are likely to be negotiated lower over time, and further downside risk to the growth trajectory mainly emanates from the uncertainty, " it to HDFC Bank, the tariff poses a downside risk of 20-25 bps to India's GDP growth. Christian de Guzman, senior vice president, Moody's Ratings, said, "Curtailed access to the largest economy globally diminishes prospects for India's ambitions to develop its manufacturing sector, particularly in higher value-added sectors such as electronics".He, however, added, "India's economy is expected to remain resilient as it is less trade-reliant than other large economies in the Asia-Pacific."
