Wed Feb 12 05:24:44 UTC 2025: ## Indian Stock Market Suffers Fourth Consecutive Day of Losses Amidst US Tariff Threats

**Mumbai, February 10, 2025** – India’s stock market experienced its fourth consecutive day of losses on Monday, February 10th, 2025, as fresh threats of US tariffs rattled investor confidence. The benchmark Sensex plummeted 548.39 points (0.70%) to close at 77,311.80, a week’s low. The Nifty also declined, falling 178.35 points (0.76%) to 23,381.60.

The downturn follows a statement by US President Donald Trump announcing new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Analysts attributed the market’s negative sentiment to these tariff threats and a rise in domestic yields, pushing investors towards safer assets like gold. Several blue-chip stocks, including Power Grid, Tata Steel, and Zomato, experienced significant losses. However, some companies, such as Kotak Mahindra Bank and TCS, bucked the trend and showed gains.

Over the four-day period since February 5th, the Sensex has lost 1,272 points (1.63%), and the Nifty has dropped 357 points (1.51%). Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) further contributed to the negative trend, offloading equities worth ₹470.39 crore on Friday. Despite the negative performance in the Indian market, Asian markets showed mixed results, with some ending higher, while European markets traded positively. Brent crude oil prices, however, rose by 1.04% to $75.44 a barrel.
