Sensex, Nifty Decline As Trump Slaps 25% Tariffs On India
(RTTNews) - Indian shares were notably lower on Thursday after the United States slapped a 25 percent tariff on India, effective August 1, and threatened further penalty on Russian oil and BRICS.
Analysts said the move will hurt a spate of sectors — from makers of electronics and generic drugs to jewelry and auto component firms.
