Rupee Suffers Worst Day In Nearly Three Months

The Indian rupee depreciated by 0.7%, marking its steepest single-day fall since January. The currency weakness was largely attributed to foreign outflows and the ripple effect of Donald Trump’s tariff announcement. Asian currencies including the yuan also weakened, intensifying pressure on the RBI to monitor volatility closely in the coming days.

Global Market Meltdown Adds To Investor Woes

Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs—starting at a baseline of 10% and going as high as 34% for China—sparked panic across global markets. US futures pointed to deeper losses with Nasdaq futures down by 3.1%. Japan’s Nikkei plunged 7.8% to a 1.5-year low, triggering circuit breakers. European markets also reacted negatively to trade disruptions, hinting at prolonged volatility ahead.

Indian markets now enter a crucial phase where global triggers and domestic stability will decide the next direction. With tariff uncertainties persisting and investor sentiment shaken, a short-term rebound looks unlikely unless there is some clarity from global policymakers.
