Sell-off driven by weakening global cues, FII selling amid concerns over US trade policies

- ARSHAD KHAN @ New Delhi

DOMESTIC equity markets witnessed a sharp decline on Monday, with benchmark indices—the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50—plunging to their lowest levels in eight months.

The sell-off was driven by weakening global cues and persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) selling amid concerns over US trade policies.

The 30-share Sensex tumbled by 856.65 points, or 1.14%, to close at 74,454.41, while the Nifty50 dropped by 242.55 points, or 1.06%, to settle at 22,553.35.

The benchmarks have fallen below this level in the first week of June 2024 when general election results were declared.

So far in 2025, both indices have declined by over 5%.
