Sensex Turns Red and Sinks 5% 

Ali Waghbakriwala

On Monday, 7 April 2025, half of the 30 Sensex equities fell more than 5% on the BSE during intraday trading as Dalal Street became risk-averse following US President Donald Trump’s harsh reciprocal tariff announcement.

Among the most severely impacted stocks, the following fell between 5% and 12% in intraday trading: Tata Steel (11.5%), Tech Mahindra (8.4%), Tata Motors (10.3%; at 52-week low), Mahindra and Mahindra (9.1%), Infosys (9.9%), Sun Pharma (8.1%), IndusInd Bank (9.4%), Adani Ports (9.3%), Larsen & Toubro (8.9%), HCL Technologies (8.3%), Reliance Industries Limited (7.4%; at 52-week low), Bajaj Finance (7.1%), Kotak Mahindra Bank (8.1%), Tata Consultancy Services (7.2%; at 52-week low), and Axis Bank (5.1%).

Tata Motors’ stock price dropped 10.31% to Rs 550.55 per share as a result of its UK subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover announcing that it has ceased exporting to the US this month due to Trump’s 25% tariff on cars manufactured outside of the US.

According to JLR, the US is a significant market. However, the company has chosen to “enact” its “planned short-term actions including a shipment pause in April” in order to address the new trading terms.

Tata Steel’s share price fell 11.5% to an intraday low of Rs 124.2 due to a double whammy.  First, metal equities had substantial selling pressure on Monday as the industry-related sector was hit by concerns about global growth. China, the world’s largest metals consumer, has been slapped with a cumulative 54% tariff. China has also levied a 34% retaliatory tariff on the US.

Secondly, the Tata Group company received an income tax notice for the fiscal year 2018-19 (AY 2019-20), which increased its taxable income by Rs 25,185.51 crore.  According to Tata Steel, the value represents the debt that was waived in the company’s favour when it was given the opportunity to purchase Bhushan Steel, now known as Tata Steel BSL, under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.

IndusInd Bank’s shares fell 9.4% following the bank’s March 2025 quarter update, which revealed a disappointing increase in advances. IndusInd Bank’s Q4FY25 business update indicates net advances increased by 1.4% year on year to Rs 3,47,933 crore. Loans fell by 5.2% quarter over quarter.

Reliance Industries’ share price (RIL), among other noteworthy equities, slumped 7.4% intraday to a new 52-week low of Rs 1,115.5 a share as crude oil prices plummeted due to worries about global growth. RIL, which is involved in oil sourcing and exploration, earns around 60% of its revenue from the petrochemical and oil industries.

Overall, the BSE Sensex index slid 3,939.6 points (5.2%) to an intraday low of 71,425. The precipitous decline in shares comes after a global stock market catastrophe, with investors on the defensive as a result of US President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

Following Trump’s imposition of punitive tariffs on more than 180 countries, China and Canada announced counter-tariffs of equivalent amounts. Meanwhile, the Eurozone is pondering similar measures.

Nifty Pharma Bleeds Red Over Looming Tariffs Comment 

Ali Waghbakriwala

Shares of Indian pharmaceutical businesses, including Gland Pharma Ltd, Laurus Labs Ltd, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd, and Biocon Ltd, dropped as much as 8% on Monday, 7 April, in response to comments made by US President Donald Trump about the upcoming taxes on the pharmaceutical industry. The stock of other pharmaceutical businesses fell between 2% to 6% as well.

Early Monday trading saw the Nifty Pharma index fall as much as 7%, extending its year-to-date decline to 14%. After ending at 20,560, the index reached an intraday low of 19,121.10.

On 2 April, Trump proposed sweeping reciprocal tariffs over 60 countries. The pharmaceutical industry did well that day since Trump excluded it from the announcement, but the following day, he implemented limitations on medication imports into the United States.

Trump, while speaking to reporters on Air Force One, said, “Pharma tariffs are going to come in at levels you haven’t really seen before. We are looking at pharmaceuticals as a separate category. We will be announcing that sometime in the near future, and not too distant future. It’s under review right now,”.

Pharmaceutical imports from India are currently tax-free in the US. However, pharmaceutical imports from the US are subject to a 10% tariff in India.

If reciprocal tariffs are imposed on the pharmaceutical industry, they will only total 10% on imported drugs.

At 12:31 pm, Nifty Pharma was trading 2.96% lower at Rs 19,952.40.

ONGC and Oil India shares slump over 9% as crude oil prices extend decline

Ali Waghbakriwala

Shares of state-owned oil producers ONGC and Oil India Ltd fell by more than 8% on Monday, 7 April, following a continued decline in crude oil prices over the past three days.

Crude prices tumbled at the start of the week, triggered by Saudi Arabia’s decision to significantly cut its benchmark crude price, the steepest reduction in over two years, that came amid rising concerns of a global economic slowdown fueled by intensifying trade tensions. 

Brent crude dropped nearly 4% to $63.21 per barrel, its lowest in four years, after plunging 11% the previous week. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at $59.79 per barrel.

Saudi Aramco announced it would reduce the price of Arab Light crude by $2.3 per barrel for Asian buyers in May, just days after the OPEC+ group surprised markets with a larger-than-expected increase in production.

Meanwhile, trade tensions between the US and China are adding to the uncertainty. Despite fears of inflation and recession, US officials downplayed the economic impact of the latest tariffs. In response, China, the world’s top crude importer, announced retaliatory tariffs against the US.

The slump in oil prices is being driven by both the tariff-related uncertainty and the unexpected OPEC+ output hike. US President Donald Trump also urged OPEC+ to reduce oil prices as part of efforts to lower inflation and increase pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.

Falling crude prices spell trouble for oil producers like ONGC and Oil India, as it compresses their profit margins. While crude prices drop, the prices of refined products may not adjust as quickly or in proportion. This could result in inventory losses for refineries holding stock purchased at higher prices.

Altogether, weakening demand and increased supply have reignited fears of a global oil surplus.

At 11:52 am, the shares of Oil India were trading 5.53% lower at Rs 337.95, and shares of ONGC were trading 3.73% lower at Rs 217.58 on the NSE.
