Tuesday, August 26, saw the Indian Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty slump since morning. Shortly after the opening bell, the Sensex lost as much as 695 points to fall below the 81,000 mark—hitting a low of 80,940.67 for the day.
The reason for the decline is said to be the Monday’s draft notice by the United States over the implementation of an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports. This led to a heavy outflow of foreign funds.
