Indian markets ended with deep cuts on Tuesday following US President Donald Trump’s hike of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to a flat 25% "without exceptions or exemptions" increasing the risk of a multi-front trade war.The benchmark BSE Sensex lost 1,018 points or 1.3% to close at 76,293.60, while the broader Nifty 50 index closed at 23,071.80, lower by 309.80 points or 1.3%.
Commenting on the day's action, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said that Nifty continues to decline and is trading below the critical 21-EMA moving average. "The trend remains weak, however, after a meaningful correction, the proximity to the falling wedge support could provide a reason for recovery. On the lower end, the 22,900–22,940 zone may act as strong support, while on the higher end, resistance is placed at 23,300," De said.
