Trade tensions push Sensex into the red

Indian shares fell on Monday as increasing trade tensions between the United States and other major economies continued to dampen investor sentiment.

The broader NSE Nifty ended 0.55 percent lower at 10,762.45, while the benchmark BSE Sensex closed 0.61 percent lower at 35,470.35.

Financial and energy stocks were among the biggest drags on both the indexes, with the Nifty PSU Bank index and the Nifty Energy index closing down 2 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively.
