  • Sensex and Nifty Extend Losses as Trade War Fears Weigh on Indian Markets
    January 21, 2026, 12:34 AM EST. Indian equity indices opened lower on Wednesday, extending Tuesday's sharp sell-off amid escalating trade tensions and weak global cues. The BSE Sensex dropped roughly 110 points to near 82,070, while the NSE Nifty hovered around 25,220, close to its 200-day moving average, a key long-term support level. Market breadth was negative, and volatility spiked, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. Wall Street declined overnight after fresh tariff threats by U.S. President Donald Trump against Europe intensified global trade war fears. Asian markets followed the downtrend. Analysts warned that Nifty's break below 25,500 heightened selling pressure and any rebounds are likely capped, as macroeconomic risks dominate market dynamics.
