Nifty slides below 24,700; oil & gas shares decline


The headline equity benchmarks traded with substantial losses on Thursday, snapping a two-day winning streak. The sell-off was triggered after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods, effective August 1, along with an additional, unspecified penalty for India’s purchase of items from Russia. Trading could be volatile due to the monthly Nifty50 F&O series expiry today.

The Nifty traded below the 24,700 level. Oil & gas shares extended losses for the second consecutive trading session.

At 10:35 IST, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex declined 603.62 points or 0.74% to 80,878.74. The Nifty 50 index lost 180.55 points or 0.75% to 24,673.30.

In the broader market, the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index slipped 1.19% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index fell 0.84%.

The market breadth was weak. On the BSE 1,116 shares rose and 2,409 shares fell. A total of 167 shares were unchanged.

The NSE's India VIX, a gauge of the market's expectation of volatility over the near term, jumped 6.06% to 11.89.

New Listing

Shares of Brigade Hotel Ventures were currently trading at Rs 84.01 at 10:30 IST on the BSE, representing a discount of 6.66% compared with the issue price of Rs 90.

The scrip was listed at Rs 82, exhibiting a discount of 8.89% to the issue price.

So far, the stock has hit a high of Rs 86.53 and a low of Rs 81.49. On the BSE, over 12.12 lakh shares of the company were traded in the counter so far.

Trump Tariffs:

The U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that India will face a 25% tariff starting August 1, along with an additional 'penalty' over what he considers unfair trade practices and India’s purchases of military equipment and energy from Russia.

The 25% tariff is slightly lower than the 26% rate he declared on “Liberation Day” for the key trading partner but remains at the higher end of the range he was weighing. On Tuesday, Trump had indicated he was considering a rate between 20% and 25%.

India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry has reportedly said the 'government is studying' the implications of Trump’s tariff announcement.

"India and the US have been engaged in negotiations on concluding a fair, balanced and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement over the last few months,” the ministry said in a statement. “We remain committed to that objective.”
