Sensex tanked over 1,100 pts on Tuesday amid broad-based selling in the equity market. Investor wealth declined by Rs 2.64 lakh crore to Rs 410.23 lakh crore today compared with a valuation of Rs 412.87 lakh crore recorded in the previous session. 

Sensex fell 1150 pts to 76,264 and Nifty slipped 284 pts to 23235, reflecting weak investor sentiment on Dalal Street. Sensex and Nifty have fallen for the second straight session today. Today's crash comes ahead of US President Donald Trump's April 2 deadline when he is expected to announce more tariffs. 

Recently,   Trump said that he would impose 'reciprocal' tariffs to match the duty rates other countries have imposed on US products. The President is likely to announce his plans on reciprocal tariffs on April 2, Tuesday.

Expert take 

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, "Globally markets are focused on the details of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs to be announced tomorrow. The market trends after the announcements will depend on the details of the tariffs and how they will impact different countries and sectors.

If the tariffs are lower-than-feared, there can be a rally in the market which will be led by externally linked sectors like pharmaceuticals and IT. On the other hand if the tariffs are severe there can be another round of downturn in the market. Investors can wait and watch and respond after the details are known."
