Equity market mayhem extended to the second straight week of March 31-April 7 as the BSE Sensex, Midcap, and Smallcap indices dropped around 5 per cent each for the week. The worst affected sectoral indices were metal and IT that plunged 14 and 11 per cent, respectively. The market decline was driven by a global selloff caused by US tariff announcements. Most global markets closed the week with losses between 5 and 15 per cent.
