Stock markets fall for second day on weak international developments, recent overseas fund outflows

Benchmark inventory indices Sensex and Nifty ended decrease on Tuesday (October 14, 2025) amid weak developments in Asian and European markets and recent overseas fund outflows.

Reversing its early positive aspects, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined 297.07 factors or 0.36% to settle at 82,029.98. During the day, it dropped 545.43 factors or 0.66% to 81,781.62.

The 50-share NSE Nifty went decrease by 81.85 factors or 0.32% to 25,145.50.

Bajaj Finance, Bharat Electronics, Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services, NTPC, Trent, Asian Paints and Axis Bank have been the most important laggards amongst Sensex shares.

However, Tech Mahindra, ICICI Bank, Power Grid, Hindustan Unilever and Reliance Industries have been among the many gainers.

“Equity markets saw broad-based profit-booking amid a lack of fresh domestic triggers, as weak cues from Asian and European peers dampened investor sentiment. Renewed U.S.–China trade tensions reignited risk aversion, prompting a shift toward safe-haven assets such as gold and US Treasury bonds, while equities came under pressure on concerns of escalating global trade uncertainty,” Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, a web-based buying and selling and wealth tech agency, mentioned.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng ended decrease. Markets in Europe have been buying and selling decrease.

U.S. markets ended sharply larger on Monday.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude dropped 1.82% to $62.17 a barrel.
