Domestic Stock Markets Continue to Trade in Heavy Losses

Indian stock markets are trading under significant pressure today, with benchmark indices witnessing sharp declines. Heavy selling in IT sector stocks has dragged the markets lower. As of 12:15 PM, the Sensex had fallen by around 900 points, while the Nifty was trading below the కీలక 25,500 level. Investor concerns over the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the IT sector appear to be a key factor behind the downturn. Shares of major IT companies such as TCS and Infosys have recorded substantial losses.

Global factors are also weighing on market sentiment. The recent directive by U.S. President Donald Trump imposing a 15% global tariff has heightened uncertainty in international markets. This move has directly impacted Indian export-oriented sectors, particularly IT. Weakness in U.S. markets and declines across Asian indices have further pulled down Indian benchmarks. Additionally, continuous withdrawal of investments by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) has further dampened overall market sentiment.
