Stock market today: Indian stock markets opened in the red on Thursday after US President Donald Trump announced a sharp hike in tariffs on Indian goods, doubling them to 50%, weighing on overall market sentiment. As of 11:42 AM, the Nifty50 was down 138.05 points (0.56%) at 24,436.15. The BSE Sensex also fell by 409.02 points (0.51%) to 80,134.97. Earlier in the day at 9:18 AM, the Nifty was trading at 24,523.55 down 51 points or 0.21%, while the Sensex was at 80,400.73, down 143 points or 0.18%. Thursday's trading will be influenced by the US President's implementation of additional 25% tariffs. Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, "The 21-day window for the additional 25% tariff to take effect leaves room for negotiation and an eventual deal with the US. But there is huge uncertainty surrounding the trade policy and to what extent both nations will be willing to make compromises. President Trump, fresh from the successes he has extracted in deals with others including the EU, is unlikely to budge significantly from his unjustified stand. Unfortunately for India, the US is bargaining from a position of strength. India's response has been mature and measured." "Market is unlikely to panic but weakness will continue in the near-term. Since uncertainty is high investors should be cautious in their approach. At least in the near-term, export-oriented sectors will remain weak. Domestic consumption themes like banking and financials, telecom, hotels, cement, capital goods and segments of automobiles will remain resilient." US markets ended higher on Wednesday, with Nasdaq leading at over 1% growth. Apple shares increased following announcements about domestic manufacturing commitments, whilst positive corporate earnings reports also boosted sentiment. US stock futures increased early Thursday, despite Trump's warnings about 100% tariffs on semiconductor imports. Asian markets displayed mixed trading patterns in early sessions. Foreign portfolio investors sold shares worth Rs 4,999 crore net on Wednesday. Domestic institutional investors were net purchasers at Rs 6,794 crore.

Allegations of Fraudulent Surrogacy Practices Surface at Hyderabad Fertility Clinic

HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims.

They claimed that they had already paid the money â anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh â and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic. The frauds occurred between 2019 and 2025. Cops are yet to ascertain details of the fifth case.

Warren Buffett's Circle of Competence: An Investing Philosophy

Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor behind the success of Berkshire Hathaway, is widely admired not just for his wealth, but for his simple, time-tested investment philosophy. One of his most powerful ideas is the “circle of competence” — the concept that you don’t need to understand everything about every business to be a great investor.
