Last week, too, Indian indices declined extensively, with senses and Nifty to fall by more than 2.6 percent.

The trigger US-China trade was an inflammatory under stress. After Donald Trump imposed heavy tariffs, China retaliated with 34 percent levy on American goods, promoting fears of a long -term trade war that could derail global development.
