Mumbai, Feb 10 (PTI) Stock markets closed with losses for the fourth consecutive day on Monday with the benchmark Sensex declining by 548 points as fresh US tariff threats shook investor confidence and triggered selling in bluechip banking, metal and oil shares. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 548.39 points or 0.70 per cent to settle at a week’s low of 77,311.80. Intra-day, it tanked 753.3 points or 0.96 per cent to 77,106.89. The NSE Nifty declined 178.35 points or 0.76 per cent to 23,381.60 dragged by losses in Trent, Tata Steel and Power Grid. "The US tariff threats continued to impact the market sentiment.

"Indian benchmark indices witnessed a significant decline today following a statement by US President Donald Trump, who announced plans to impose new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the US, along with additional reciprocal tariffs," Ameya Ranadive Chartered Market Technician, CFTe, Sr Technical Analyst, StoxBox, said. In Asian markets, Seoul settled lower while Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong ended in the positive territory. European markets were trading higher. US markets ended lower on Friday.
