On April 16, 2025, Indian stock indices opened in the red, reflecting cautious investor sentiment after Monday’s strong gains and amid lingering concerns over U.S. tariff policies and global trade volatility.
The BSE Sensex declined by 121.49 points to open at 76,613.40, while the NSE Nifty 50 dropped 42.25 points to begin at 23,286.30. The dip came after a robust rally on April 15, which saw the Sensex jump over 1,570 points and the Nifty gain more than 500 points.
Market movement was uneven across sectors, with a blend of losses and sharp gains:
While foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continue to offload holdings amid global uncertainty, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have stepped in, providing some cushion. Reports suggest FIIs have pulled out $4 billion so far this month, while DIIs have injected nearly $3 billion back into the market.
Experts suggest that India’s relative insulation from the U.S.-China tariff battle, combined with a focus on local growth drivers, is helping the market maintain stability.
According to technical analysts, the Nifty 50's uptrend remains intact in the near term. Resistance is seen around 23,650–23,870, with immediate support at 23,200. Market direction will be influenced by earnings announcements, global cues, and any updates related to the U.S. trade policy under President Trump.
“With volatility driven by macro factors and global trade, investors are advised to tread carefully while remaining selective in fundamentally strong sectors like finance, auto, and renewables,” said a senior analyst from ICICI Securities.
