Sensex Today: Benchmark equity indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, started the week on a flat note on Monday, reflecting mixed global cues.

Global Cues
Asian shares declined, and the dollar edged higher on Monday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed warnings of imminent tariffs, including on steel and aluminum. This inflationary move could limit the potential for future rate cuts.
Trump, speaking to reporters on Air Force One, stated that he would announce a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the U.S. on Monday, with additional reciprocal tariffs expected to be revealed on Tuesday or Wednesday.
