Sensex Crashes 1,400 Points Amid Global Uncertainty

Dubela, Riddhi Biswas: The Indian stock market experienced a sharp hit today, with the Sensex dropping 1,400 points and the Nifty 50 slipping by 354 points. The fall is linked to global economic concerns, particularly the uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump’s new tariff policies and ongoing trade tensions.
The Sensex opened at 76,882.58 but tumbled to 75,912.18 during the session, finally closing at 76,024.51—down by 1,390 points. Similarly, the Nifty 50 index declined by 1.50%, settling at 23,165.70.
Investors are growing cautious as fears of retaliatory tariffs by the US weigh on market sentiment. The upcoming RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting, scheduled for April 7-9, is also adding to the nervousness among traders.
Experts believe that market volatility may continue in the coming days as investors await further clarity on global trade policies and domestic monetary decisions. Until then, caution remains the dominant mood in the stock market.
