Trump Tariff Fears Slam Sensex & Nifty 50: NTPC & Titan Soar While Adani, Bharti Airtel, JSW Steel Bleed
Markets wobble as geopolitical risk returns with a vengeance. Trump’s tariff threats send Indian indices into a tailspin—proving once again that Wall Street’s chaos is everyone’s problem.
Who’s winning? NTPC and Titan flex gains while the rest sweat. Adani Enterprises, Bharti Airtel, and JSW Steel lead the losers’ parade—because nothing says ‘market stability’ like a good old-fashioned panic.
Bonus jab: If volatility is a tax on ignorance, Indian investors are overpaying. Again.
