Yesterday was termed another Black Monday, as global markets witnessed sharp volatility. In the U.S., major indices closed lower amid renewed trade war concerns. The Dow Jones dropped 0.9%, and the S&P 500 fell 0.2%, despite brief optimism around a potential tariff pause — which was quickly denied by the White House.
Former President Donald Trump reignited trade tensions by threatening an additional 50% tariff on China, dampening investor sentiment worldwide. This pushed US Treasury yields higher, kept the Dollar Index above 103, and led to fluctuations in oil and gold prices.
In contrast, Asian markets rebounded strongly. Japan’s Nikkei surged nearly 6%, recovering from a multi-month low, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 and Korea’s KOSPI also posted healthy gains.

India wasn’t spared. The Sensex crashed by 2,226.79 points (2.95%) to close at 73,137.90, while the Nifty declined 742.85 points (3.24%) to end at 22,161.60. Every sector closed in the red:
Metals: -6.7%
Realty: -5.6%
Media, PSU Bank, Auto, Energy, IT: Down between 2.5% to 4%
Derivative data shows bearish undertones, with strong resistance at higher levels. Technical indicators suggest that Nifty must hold above 21,750 to prevent deeper corrections.

Nifty opened with a sharp gap down and traded between 21,800–22,200, closing near the day’s low.
Immediate support lies at 21,800–21,750 (confluence of 2-year EMA and Monday’s low).
Holding above this zone could trigger a rebound towards 22,600–22,900.
A breakdown below 21,750 might open the door for a retest of 21,300 (election outcome day low).
Intraday Levels – Nifty
Resistance: 22,580 / 22,700
Support: 22,050 / 21,900
Intraday Levels – Bank Nifty
Resistance: 51,000 / 51,370
Support: 49,710 / 49,400
S&P 500: -0.2% at 5,062.3
Dow Jones: -0.9% at 37,965.6
Nasdaq: +0.1% at 15,603.3
Sectors such as real estate and materials dragged U.S. indices down, while communication services and technology remained resilient.
The White House denied speculation of a 90-day tariff pause. Trump stated that the U.S. would proceed with additional levies and halt trade negotiations entirely unless China withdraws its retaliatory tariffs.
Nikkei 225: +5.9% at 32,959.59
Topix: +6.14% at 2,428.64
S&P/ASX 200 (Australia): +1.1% above 7,420
KOSPI (South Korea): +1.4% at 2,361
These gains were fueled by hopes of a broader negotiation framework between the U.S. and key Asian partners, though volatility is expected to persist.
