Stocks Plunge on Trade Tariffs; Mazagon Dock’s Stake Sale & UltraTech’s Expansion in Focus

Global Market Overview

Global markets faced a sharp sell-off after U.S. President Donald Trump announced aggressive trade tariffs, triggering recession fears and the biggest one-day drop in the S&P 500 since 2020. Wall Street indices plunged, with the Dow falling 4%, the S&P 500 down 4.8%, and the Nasdaq plummeting 6%. Asian markets followed suit.

Investors now await Friday’s U.S. payroll data and Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s speech for monetary policy cues. Markets are now pricing in four interest rate cuts this year, up from three prior to Trump’s announcement. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar fell, gold prices eased, and OPEC+ announced a crude output hike.

Indian Market Performance

Indian markets closed lower amid global jitters, though mid- and small-cap stocks showed resilience. The Nifty is consolidating and expected to trade between 23,000–23,800 in the short term, presenting opportunities for staggered buying in quality stocks. Derivative data highlights key levels and potential volatility ahead of the weekly expiry.

Key Developments:

Mazagon Dock Offer for Sale: The government is offloading up to 4.83% stake in Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders at an 8% discount to the market price, which could weigh on short-term sentiment.

UltraTech Cement Acquisition: UltraTech Cement has acquired 6.42 lakh shares (100% equity) of Wonder WallCare for ₹235 crore from Wonder Cement and Kushal Sogani, bolstering its presence in the wall care segment.

FII & DII Data: FIIs sold 9,123 contracts and unwound 1,738 long positions, reducing the long-short ratio to 0.43 from 0.48, signaling a bearish stance. A further decline below 0.30 may indicate a significant directional shift.

Market Recap: 3 April 

Indian equity benchmarks ended in the red, with Nifty settling near 23,250 after an initial rebound was reversed by the U.S. tariff announcement.

Sensex : Down 322 points (0.42%) at 76,295.36

Nifty: Down 82 points (0.35%) at 23,250.10

BSE Midcap Index: Up 0.3%

Small-cap Index: Up 0.7%

Sectoral Performance:

Losers: IT (-4%), Auto (-1%)

Gainers: Pharma (+2%), PSU Banks (+1.9%), Power (+1.8%)

Nifty Short-Term Outlook

The index has formed a small bullish candle, continuing its seven-session consolidation around the 50- & 20-day EMA. The shallow retracement of recent gains indicates a strong price structure. Nifty has absorbed volatility from U.S. tariff concerns, showing resilience. We expect the index to consolidate within 23,000-23,800, setting the stage for a move towards 24,200 in the coming weeks. Key support is at 23,000-22,700 levels. Investors should use this phase for staggered buying in quality stocks.

Global and Asian Markets

The S&P 500 suffered its worst one-day slump since 2020 following Trump’s tariff announcement, raising fears of a full-scale trade war that could disrupt global supply chains and slow economic growth.

Dow: -1,679.4 points (-4%)

S&P 500: -4.8%

Nasdaq: -6%

Recent data showed stronger-than-expected private payrolls and weaker job openings, setting the stage for Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report. Investors eagerly await Powell’s speech for further economic insights.
