US President Donald Trump’s tariffs have unleashed chaos across the globe, plunging Indian equity markets to their 10-month low. Sensex opened nearly 4,000 points lower, sliding over 3.5% since its last trading session, while Nifty tanked over 1,000 points this morning. The crash follows a massive sell-off in Asian equities, panicked by Trump’s radical policies, and US futures pointing at significant losses when it resumes trading this evening.<\/p>\n
The tariffs – billed as a harbinger of a “golden period” for US industries – seek to undo trade practices that President Trump believes have been unfair. The tariffs are country-specific and go as high as 50%. The rate announced for India is 26%, feared to impact its robust electronics and jewellery sectors, in addition to a 10% baseline duty applied to all nations.<\/p>\n

Nifty, the National Stock Exchange index, is just above the 22,000 mark.<\/p>\n Asian Equities<\/strong><\/p>\n Asian equities, the first among all markets to open, have been hit the hardest as Trump tariffs extended a massive sell-off on the bourses in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.\u00a0 \u200bUS President Donald Trump’s tariffs have unleashed chaos across the globe, plunging Indian equity markets to their 10-month low.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US President Donald Trump’s tariffs have unleashed chaos across the globe, plunging Indian equity markets to their 10-month<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":122583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG.jpeg",1183,887,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-300x225.jpeg",300,225,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-768x576.jpeg",640,480,true],"large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-1024x768.jpeg",640,480,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG.jpeg",1183,887,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG.jpeg",1183,887,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-825x575.jpeg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/30vqkfv_stock-market-share-market_625x300_22_January_25-wpkEwG-590x410.jpeg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"","author_link":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/?author=0"},"category_info":"Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/122583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alertindianews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
