<h1>Equity Markets Fall Four Days Amid India-US Trade Deal Uncertainty and Heavy Foreign Investor Sell-Offs</h1> Equity markets experienced a decline for the fourth consecutive day due to uncertainty surrounding a pending trade agreement between India and the United States and continued foreign institutional investor (FII) sell-offs. Benchmark indices fell notably in early trading, with significant stock losses among major firms, while some companies saw gains. FIIs divested equities worth over Rs 6,000 crore, intensifying market pressure despite domestic institutional investor purchases. The likelihood of finalizing the trade deal before the August 1 deadline diminished, contributing to negative investor sentiment. Regional Asian markets also showed mixed performance, and global oil prices remained relatively stable. The ongoing trade deal uncertainty and persistent foreign fund outflows remain key factors influencing market volatility.
