  • Most Nifty stocks were trading lower. JSW Steel (NSE: JSTL) and Tata Steel (NSE: TISC) declined the most after Trump threatened to slap tariffs imports on steel and aluminium. Nifty Pharma was also down over fears that the US tariffs can spillover from metals to pharma products. Nifty Auto and Nifty PSU Bank were the only ones in green.

The article from Investing.com discusses the U.S. stock market's reaction to President Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports. This announcement led to a downturn in the stock market, with major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all experiencing declines. Investors were concerned about the potential for retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which could escalate into a broader trade war, negatively impacting global trade and economic growth. The uncertainty around trade policies also contributed to increased market volatility. Additionally, the article mentions that sectors directly affected by these tariffs, such as manufacturing and construction, saw significant drops in stock prices, while companies in the steel and aluminum industries had mixed reactions, with some expecting short-term gains from higher prices but long-term concerns about reduced demand.
