Stock Market LIVE Updates: Why are stock markets falling today?
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Stock markets were falling in today's session amid a host of factors. Among them, a key trigger for market selling today was US President Trump slapping tariffs on the Pharma sector.
Trump's tariff tantrums have resumed, according to analysts." India being an exporter of generic drugs is unlikely to be impacted by this. But perhaps the president’s next target can be generic drugs. This decision may have a sentimental impact on pharmaceutical stocks. Trump is now moving from country-specific tariffs to product-specific tariffs," said VK Vijayakumar. READ REASONS FOR MARKET FALL
