Indian markets continue to face significant pressure as the Nifty enters its ninth consecutive day in the red, with heavyweights like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank dragging the index lower. Reliance Industries, in particular, ended at a 52-week low, having corrected 30% from its peak. With global market concerns adding to the uncertainty, questions loom: Will the Nifty test the 21,800 mark following the overnight US market sell-off? Nifty this year alone has lost more than 7%, and so has Sensex, while major global indices are performing quite the opposite. The Hang Seng Index has jumped 17% on a year-to-date basis, SSE China is up 2%, Germany's DAX has gained 15%, London's FTSE is up 7.4%, CAC 3%, and KOSPI has gained 5.4%. This stark contrast highlights the challenges facing the Indian markets, but what does it mean for investors looking for a way forward? In this special episode on Business Today TV, anchor Shailendra Bhatnagar takes a closer look at the current market turmoil. He delves into the latest developments, including President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, effective March 4th, which has sparked retaliatory tariffs from Canada. These geopolitical tensions, along with the U.S. market's negative performance—the S&P 500 turning negative for the year and major losses in the Dow Jones and Nasdaq—have contributed to heightened market volatility. The episode also explores the broader impact of these global factors on Indian markets, focusing on the performance of small-cap and mid-cap stocks. Shailendra Bhatnagar shares the influence of the US VIX, the Dollar vs. Rupee exchange rate, Gold futures, and Crude Oil futures on Indian equities, shedding light on how these global indicators are shaping the market sentiment. With the markets in a state of flux, it's essential to know how to navigate this volatile environment. This live coverage will help you understand what to do, what not to do, and how to position yourself in the current market scenario. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a newcomer, this in-depth analysis will provide valuable insights into managing your portfolio during these turbulent times.
