Monday’s Market Action

This includes an estimated ₹5.8 lakh crore in private sector investment through the asset monetisation programme of central ministries and public sector enterprises during the five-year timeframe.
Wall Street Closed Sharply Lower on Monday
US equities closed sharply lower on Monday as persistent concerns over artificial intelligence-driven disruption and uncertainty around tariffs weighed on investor sentiment and reduced risk appetite.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 821.91 points, or 1.66%, to finish at 48,804.06. The S&P 500 declined 71.76 points, or 1.04%, ending at 6,837.75, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 258.80 points, or 1.13%, to close at 22,627.27.

China Loan Prime Rate (LPR)
China kept its benchmark lending rates unchanged for the ninth straight month in February. The one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) was maintained at 3.0%, while the five-year LPR remained steady at 3.5%.
