Summary of the Day's Market Performance

Market Overview

The Sensex plummeted 1.90% (1,414.33 points) to close at 73,198.10, ending February on a sour note.
The Nifty dropped 1.86% (420.35 points) to 22,124.70, reflecting broad-based selling pressure.
Midcap and Smallcap indices fell over 2.2%, amplifying the market’s bearish tone.
All sectoral indices closed in the red, with Nifty IT, Auto, Media, and Metal plunging the most.

Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): bought ₹12,308.63 crore

Robust domestic buying softened the blow from aggressive foreign selling, though it couldn’t avert the crash.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

Panic selling gripped the market as Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, 10% on China, and potential EU levies rattled global sentiment.
Weak earnings, slowing growth fears, and persistent FII outflows fueled the steep decline.
Nifty’s worst monthly losing streak in 29 years wiped out ₹85 lakh crore in investor wealth since September highs.
Investors are now pinning hopes on Q3 GDP data for signs of economic resilience amid global uncertainty.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

The last time the Nifty saw a worse monthly losing streak was in 1996, a year marked by political instability and global economic turbulence.
