Sensex, Nifty Extend Losses as IT, Global Tariffs Weigh; Small caps Outperform

Indian stock markets remained under pressure on Monday afternoon, July 14, 2025, as the Sensex fell 359.55 points to 82,140.92 (-0.44%) and the Nifty 50 dropped 99.10 points to 25,050.75 (-0.39%). This marks the fourth consecutive session of declines, driven by global tariff concerns and persistent weakness in the IT sector.

• Nifty IT plunged 1.47% as tech majors like TCS and HCLTech continued to slide. TCS shares fell for a sixth straight session amid uncertainty over salary hikes and ongoing sector headwinds.
• Nifty Bank slipped 0.11%, while financials and large-cap stocks remained subdued.
• BSE Smallcap index bucked the trend, rising 0.37% as investors shifted focus to broader market opportunities.
• Sectoral action: PSU banks, media, and healthcare indices showed resilience, while IT, auto, and FMCG stocks lagged.
• Market breadth was mixed, with more declines than advances on the BSE, but notable strength in select smallcap and midcap names.

Key stocks in focus:

• RVNL (contract win with South Central Railway)
• HCLTech, TCS, Infosys (IT earnings, salary hike concerns)
• DMart, DLF, RailTel (corporate news and earnings)

Global triggers such as US tariff hikes on the EU and Mexico, and the absence of a US-India trade deal, continue to weigh on sentiment. Traders are also watching for domestic CPI and WPI inflation data due later today, which could influence RBI policy expectations.
