Indian stock markets tumble in early trade amid weak global cues and FII outflows
Indian equity markets opened sharply lower on Tuesday as weak global cues — including caution over a pending U.S. interest‑rate decision and uncertainty around U.S.–India trade talks — compounded foreign fund outflows. Broad sell‑off across sectors dragged key indices, signaling a cautious shift in investor sentiment.

Shares across India suffered a weak start, with major indices falling significantly in early trade.
The decline was fuelled by multiple pressures: global market softness, anxiety ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest‑rate decision, and mounting foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows.
Outflows have surged this month, with FIIs selling off about US $1.32 billion in the first six sessions — roughly three times the amount withdrawn in November.
Almost all major sectors — 15 out of 16 — were in the red, while mid‑cap and small‑cap indices dropped around 0.5% each.
Analysts point to a frail backdrop of global economic uncertainty, forex volatility and trade‑deal ambiguity as key reasons behind the broad risk‑off mood among investors.
