The BSE Sensex declined 345.8 points, or 0.41 per cent, to close at 83,190.28, while the NSE Nifty50 dropped 120.85 points, or 0.47 per cent, to settle at 25,355.25.

Global Cues Asia-Pacific markets were largely mixed this morning as investors reacted to fresh trade tensions and cues from the US central bank. US President Donald Trump escalated trade measures by raising tariffs on Brazilian imports to 50% from 10%, effective August 1. In a letter, he criticized the trade relationship as “very unfair" and cited Brazil’s legal action against former President Jair Bolsonaro as part of the motivation behind the tariff hike. The minutes from the US Federal Reserve’s June FOMC meeting revealed that most Fed officials see a rate cut as likely later this year, although the committee remained divided. While some members advocated for a reduction as early as the next meeting, others felt rate cuts may not be needed at all in 2025. The Fed also noted that inflation from tariffs may prove limited or transitory, and while trade and geopolitical risks persist, overall uncertainty has eased slightly compared to the last meeting. top videos View all Swipe Left For Next Video View all In regional markets, at the last count, Nikkei was down 0.39 per cent, while the Topix fell 0.48 per cent.
