Stock market closing highlights, Thursday, August 28, 2025: As investors processed the effects of the 50% tariffs on US exports that went into force on Wednesday, Indian markets ended the day lower. As tensions between Washington and New Delhi increased, the new levies, which went into force a day earlier, are among the highest in Asia. The new tariffs were put in place to prevent India from continuing to buy Russian crude oil.
