Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves
- Disappointing Q3 Earnings: LTIMindtree led the market decline after reporting a sharp 30.73% year-on-year drop in consolidated net profit, fueling concerns over slowing growth in the IT services sector.
- Global Trade Tensions: Markets were rattled by new tariff threats from the U.S. administration directed at European trade partners. This "Greenland-linked" trade standoff dampened risk appetite across Asian and European equities.
- Persistent FII Selling: Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued their exit from Indian markets, with net sales exceeding ₹3,200 crore on Monday, adding pressure to large-cap stocks.
- Sectoral Weakness: The Nifty Realty and Nifty IT indices were the worst performers, falling 3.6% and 1.6% respectively, as high valuations and weak quarterly outlooks prompted broad-based profit booking.
- Safe-Haven Demand: As equity benchmarks crumbled, investors shifted capital toward gold and silver, while the India VIX (volatility index) jumped nearly 5%, signaling increased fear in the market.
