The Indian stock market opened sharply lower on Monday following a massive sell-off in global markets. The fall was triggered by concerns over a global recession, rising inflation and fears surrounding the ongoing trade war between the United States and other nations.

Asian stock markets saw steep declines, with Japan’s Nikkei dropping nearly 9% and South Korea’s Kospi down over 4%. Meanwhile, in the US, Wall Street suffered its worst weekly loss since the pandemic, with the Nasdaq officially entering a bear market. The Dow Jones dropped more than 5% in a single day.

On Friday, the Indian market reflected similar weakness. The Sensex lost around 931 points to close at 75,365 while the Nifty 50 fell nearly 346 points, ending at 22,904. Experts say a further dip is likely as the Gift Nifty indicates a gap-down opening, trading at a discount of around 782 points from the previous close.

Investors are closely watching key triggers this week, such as the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy meeting, corporate Q4 earnings and developments in global trade tariffs. The fear is that trade tensions led by the US could push major economies toward a slowdown.

Stock Market Today:

Technology stocks, including Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla, saw sharp losses. Even cryptocurrency markets crashed, with Bitcoin plunging 7% and Ether hitting a 17-month low.

Crude oil prices also declined as worries over reduced demand affected global sentiment. Brent crude was down more than 3%, trading below $64 a barrel.

Analysts believe this sharp correction reflects the global uncertainty caused by inflation, rising interest rates, and policy decisions. Investors are advised to remain cautious and consult experts before making any moves.
