• Indian equity markets closed with minor losses on concerns over potential
U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. Additionally, sentiment was dampened
following the minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Jan 2025 policy
meeting, in which the central bank highlighted that the U.S. President’s
proposed tariffs could potentially drive up consumer prices, which could
further delay the interest rate cut.
• Key benchmark indices BSE SENSEX and Nifty 50 lost 0.27% and 0.09% to

SmallCap gained 1.18% and 1.32% respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 2,616 scrips advancing
and 1,347 scrips declining. A total of 91 scrips remained unchanged.
• On the BSE sectoral front, Power was the major gainer, up 2.19% followed

billion in the same period last year.
• The RBI plans to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
(ML) tools to forecast future trends, detect irregular activities, and manage
risks in a rapidly evolving financial environment. The central bank believes
that AI and ML can enhance regulators' ability to ensure banks maintain
sufficient capital to withstand economic slowdowns and market
downturns.
• The government has imposed stricter stock limits on wheat due to
persistently high prices and concerns over the upcoming rabi harvest
affected by high temperatures. The stock limit on wholesalers have been
reduced by 75%, while the stock limit on retailers and big chain retailers has
been cut by 20%.
• SJVN Ltd. intends to enhance its sole coal power project currently under

construction.

valued between Rs. 2,500 crore and Rs. 5,000 crore from Hindalco. This

annum) greenfield alumina refinery plant in Odisha. The contract has been
obtained through its Minerals & Metals (M&M) business division, Larsen &
Toubro (L&T).
• Asian equity markets fell as the minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's Jan
2024 policy meeting revealed concerns over inflation risks and the U.S.
President's harsh criticism of the Ukrainian President heightened tensions
in the ongoing conflict. Hong Kong’s market fell as real estate and tech
stocks fell on the U.S. President's tariff threats. Today (as on February 21),
Asian markets opened on a mixed note after Wall Street declined
overnight. Nikkei fell by 0.21% and Hang Seng rose by 2.27% (as at 8 a.m.
IST).
• European equity markets mostly fell on concerns regarding a potential
trade war have arisen due to the U.S. President's ongoing threats to impose
25% tariffs on various imported goods. Additionally, persistent geopolitical
tensions have contributed to a cautious atmosphere.
• U.S. equity markets fell due to a sell-off on Wall Street triggered by a
decline in the stock prices of a major retail giant. Meanwhile, investors may
also be seeking to capitalize on the recent increases in stock prices, which
lifted the S&P 500 to record highs despite ongoing tariff concerns and
indications the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates on hold
for some time.
