Global markets remained unsettled after President Donald Trump said he would raise a global import levy to 15% following the US Supreme Court’s ruling against his so-called reciprocal tariffs.
On Monday, Trump also cautioned countries against reneging on recently negotiated trade agreements with the U.S. after the Supreme Court struck down his emergency tariffs, warning that any such move would invite much steeper duties under alternative trade law.
NTPC, HUL, and PowerGrid were the top gainers while Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, and Eternal fell the most.
