Mumbai, February 5: Indian stock markets opened flat on Monday, with the Nifty and Sensex showing minimal movement as investors reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threat. Analysts view Trump’s comments on potentially increasing tariffs on Chinese goods as part of strategic trade negotiations rather than a direct threat, contributing to market caution.
Market participants are adopting a wait-and-watch approach, hoping the tariff issue serves as a negotiating tool leading to a resolution that avoids significant global trade disruptions. The market’s cautious sentiment is expected to persist until there is greater clarity on the outcomes of ongoing trade talks.
