Introduction:
Today’s share market is like a roller-coaster, Muddu bhai. In the morning, Trump announced new 50% trade tariffs on India, which became the most worrying topic. People were afraid that Nifty and Sensex would go down instantly. But the magic happened by the end of the day: indices showed a recovery of 750+ points intraday, and a positive closing was given by the market.
In this article, we will discuss in detail what Donald Trump said:
How tariffs created panic in the first place
Which sectors suffered and which survived
Where did the buying interest come from — IT, Pharma, or domestic investors
Final takeaway: Is there a short-term risk or a long-term opportunity in the market?
If you are a stockholder or an investor who invests in stocks, then you should not skip this analysis even a bit because I believe that decision-making moments occur on such days.
According to Reuters, when Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Indian exports, the immediate market reaction was negative—Nifty fell 0.4% to 24,475, and Sensex also went down 0.38% to 80,237.
Major sectors—textiles, gems, jewellery, oil refining—all started falling, as these have high Indian export exposure. Apart from this, FIIs also made an outflow of $900 million so far in August, up to $2 billion last July—market sentiment was looking even more bearish.
Day End Recovery – U-Turn of Buying Interest and Share Market Sentiment
But did the stocks bomb immediately? No brother. Buyers came from somewhere, and today’s market close was positive.
Sensex showed an intraday bounce of 830+ points and closed at 80,623.26, with a gain of +79 points or 0.1%. Nifty also recovered and reached 24,596.15, +22 points up.
Special buying was initially seen in IT, Pharma, media, and auto sectors. Hero MotoCorp saw a 4% surge, and Tech Mahindra and JSW Steel were also among the top gainers today.

Expert Takeaways – Share Market Resilience & RBI’s GDP Forecast
Analysts have said that if tariffs remain in place for a long time, there will be pressure, but the RBI has kept the GDP growth forecast at 6.5%, which shows solid economic strength.
Brokerages also said that much depends on the outcome of trade negotiations. Traders have also taken advantage of derivative expiry and last-hour buying.
Investor Guide – What should you do after today?
This is my opinion, and you must do your research before investing.
1. Buying in a dip?
If it is long-term, consider smart sectors like banking, IT.
2. Stay updated on trade talks:
The U.S. delegation will arrive in India on August 24 — a key date for the market.
3. Avoid panic:
The market has already shown recovery — the sentiment is turning positive again.
4. Diversify portfolio:
Reduce export-heavy stocks slightly and increase domestic-heavy or consumption-based picks.

If any big global headline comes again from tomorrow, you can stay informed.
