Top gainers and losers, Jan 20: Bajaj Finance, Eternal, Jio Finserv slip 4%, Coal India down 3%; check full list

The Indian benchmark indices, SENSEX and NIFTY50, plunged on Tuesday, January 20, as rising geopolitical tensions dampened investor sentiments.

Globally, equity markets were trading in the red after US President Donald Trump threatened to slap a 10% extra tariff on imports from eight European countries, which provoked a backlash from important trading partners that invest heavily in the US.

On Monday, the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth ₹3,262.82 crore, while the domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased equities worth ₹4,234.30 crore on a net basis, according to exchange data.

The NIFTY50 index posted its worst trading day in more than nine months as the index dropped as much as 414 points or 1.6% to an intraday low of 25,171, and the 30-share SENSEX declined as much as 1,236 points to a session’s low of 82,010.58

The NIFTY 50 fell by 353 points or 1.38% to close at 25,232.50. Meanwhile, the SENSEX plunged 1.065.71 points or 1.28% to settle at 82,180.47.
