How Did Markets Fare Yesterday?

On Monday the Indian equity indices had opened on a cautious note due to tensions between US and China and the markets closed in the red as the trade relations between US and China deteriorated further. US President Donald Trump announced an additional 100 per cent tariff on Chinese exports, which led to a weak trend in the markets. 

Additionally, markets also declined due to selling in IT and FMCG shares.

This also triggered broad-based profit-booking in early Monday trade, reflecting heightened investor caution. However, reports of an Indian trade delegation visiting the US this week lifted sentiment, fuelling optimism about a potential breakthrough in bilateral trade negotiations and the successful conclusion of a long-awaited trade deal, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said.
