Indian markets tumbled sharply on Tuesday as global headwinds intensified. The Sensex fell 781 points to 82,513.57, while Nifty 50 dropped 214.70 points to 25,498.30. Wall Street's overnight decline triggered the selloff, with the Dow Jones plunging 1.7 percent and S&P 500 falling 1 percent. Technology stocks faced severe pressure after IBM crashed 13 percent, its worst day since 2000, following Anthropic's announcement of an AI tool capable of modernizing legacy Cobol systems. This disruption fears combined with President Trump's unpredictable trade policies have become primary sources of market volatility. Indian IT stocks suffered accordingly. HCL Technologies led losses, dropping 4.36 percent, while Infosys fell 3.54 percent and TCS declined 3.47 percent.
