Stock Market Crash Highlights, Monday, April 7, 2025: Benchmark Indian equity indices plunged sharply, weighed down by a broad-based sell-off across counters, settling in red for the third consecutive session. The BSE Sensex plummeted 2226.79 points or 2.95 per cent to end at 73,137.90, trading within a range of 73,403.99 to 71,425.01. All 30 constituent stocks of the Sensex settled in red, with Tata Steel being the top laggard, ending down by 7.16 per cent.
 
Mirroring the Sensex, the NSE Nifty50 also settled with a loss of 742.85 points or 3.24 per cent at 22,161.60.
 
The market decline was triggered by rising concerns over growth and the fallout from US tariffs, which deepened the prevailing risk-off sentiment. This was led by reciprocal tariff announcements by US President Donald Trump and retaliatory measures taken by China.
 
The Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 indices also settled with losses of over 3 per cent each. 
 
Among sectoral indices, Nifty Metal and Realty were the top laggards, ending down by 6.75 per cent and 5.69 per cent, respectively. Other sectoral indices, including Nifty IT, Bank, Auto, and Financial Services, ended with losses of up to up 4 per cent.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market tumbled as the carnage over high US tariffs and the retaliation by other countries may kickstart a trade war. Sectors like IT and metals have underperformed relative to the broader market due to the risk of high inflation with slower growth that may result in a potential recession in the US. Though the overall impact on India may be limited when compared with other countries, investors are advised to play cautiously during this fray. Focus will be on pure-play domestic themes, where the rebound is likely to be fair when the dust settles.
