Market Overview: Indian stock markets faced significant declines on Friday, reflecting investor anxiety over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats and ongoing foreign selling activities. Both the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty indexes registered declines, with the Sensex falling by 0.56 percent and the Nifty by 0.51 percent. This apprehensive sentiment was further exacerbated by fears that potential policy shifts from the Trump administration could lead to rising inflation and prolonged elevated interest rates.

Ticker Analysis: Among the notable decliners was Mahindra & Mahindra, which suffered a sharp 6.2 percent drop amid concerns regarding increasing competition in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Other companies like Adani Enterprises and Tata Motors also saw declines ranging from 2-3 percent. In contrast, metal stocks like Hindalco and Tata Steel bucked the trend with around a 2 percent rise after a string of losses.
