Massive Erosion of 7.82% for Tata Steel Share Prices At Closing- Are Trump Tariffs the Reason?

4th April, 2025 / 3:30 PM

Tata Steel share prices may be bearing the brunt of the U.S. President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcements. However, while they did not impact the closing prices yesterday (when they closed higher than the opening price by 055%), they seem to have hit today’s closing prices, which are a whopping 7.82% lower than the opening price of ₹152.62 for the day. Even at midday, the stock was down to ₹144.04, which was 5.62% lower than the opening price, plunging further to ₹143.85 before rising to touch the midday numbers. It has now closed at ₹140.67, which is a massive erosion in value by the end of the day.

Tata Steel share prices opened at ₹152.62 today, which was approximately 0.79% lower than the closing price of ₹153.85 yesterday. The same trend has now continued to drastic proportions, with the stock taking a sharp tumble of 5.62% by midday, touching ₹144.04. The stock plunged to ₹143.85 before it rose moderately to touch the midday figures, while the prices have shown a straight decline from the opening figures.

Tata Steel has been in the news for its possible impact due to reciprocal tariff announcements by the U.S. President, Donald Trump. However, while it did not impact prices yesterday at the close (where they surpassed the opening price by 0.55%), they seem to be affecting share prices currently. It remains to be seen how they stand by the end of the day.

4th April, 2025 / 9:30 AM

Tata Steel share prices opened today (4th April) at ₹152.62, which is about 0.79% lower than the closing price of ₹153.85 yesterday (3rd April). This marks the second straight day when the stock has opened below the closing figures, considering how yesterday’s opening price of ₹153 was also lower than 2nd April’s closing price of ₹154.84 (by 1.18%). What makes it even more surprising is that the share prices did witness a recovery from midday, finally losing 0.55% higher than the opening price yesterday. 

2nd April was the only day when the opening prices were higher (than the closing figures on 1st April), since the opening prices for 1st April were also lower than the 28th March closing price. Let us see how the prices behave by midday, since the stock has remained firm overall, despite the imposition of Trump tariffs.
