Today, on 14 October 2025, in Mumbai. The opening of the Indian stock market was weak, with the Sensex crashing more than 300 points and the Nifty 50 dropping to below the 25,200 mark in the early trade. The market was showing a negative behaviour this morning, which was caused by poor global sentiments and selling of profits in key sectors. PSU banks, pharma and consumer durables dragged the index, whereas IT and metal stocks provided some support.
According to analysts, the fall is amidst the global uncertainty that has been renewed, a rise in gold prices, and shift in investors to safe-haven assets. The domestic markets have been strained by the recent trade tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as, the turmoil in the global bond yields. The fact that gold prices increased by more than 1% in the morning is a positive sign that people are not confident because they want to hedge against the uncertain market.
In the meantime, the market of crypto is no exception and became turbulent. Bitcoin dropped to less than $114,000, and the world crypto market value dropped close to 1% to approximately 3.85 trillion. This slump is after a great sell-off over the weekend which erased billions out of the market due to fresh tariff threats and shattered investor confidence. Traditional and digital properties are both at a stage of international uncertainty and risk aversion.
