Why Did the Market Decline on February 14?

Investor sentiment was affected after US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his position on implementing reciprocal tariffs against trade partners.

Additionally, the ongoing outflows from foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who have withdrawn ₹19,077 crore from Indian equities this month, further weighed on market sentiment. Weak corporate earnings also contributed to the overall market pressure.

Britannia was one of the top gainers, closing at ₹4,935 with a 0.95% increase, reflecting positive investor sentiment towards the stock. ICICI Bank also saw a modest gain, rising by 0.81% to ₹1,259.

On the other hand, Adani Ports emerged as one of the top losers, falling by 4.63% to ₹1,060.05, indicating negative market sentiment towards the stock. Additionally, Bharat Electronics (BEL) declined by 4.42%, closing at ₹250, contributing to the bearish tone in the market for the day.

The Nifty Smallcap 100 closed at 15,407.20, down by 3.55%, reflecting a significant pullback in small-cap stocks. Similarly, the Nifty Microcap 250 ended the day at 20,736.00, losing 3.42%, highlighting the pressure on even the smaller, more niche market segments.
