Zerodha co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath has issued a stark warning to traders amid the ongoing volatility in the Indian stock market. As of Wednesday, benchmark indices are trading lower, reflecting investor unease. The Sensex dropped by 371.39 points to 73,855.69, and the Nifty slipped 112.25 points to 22,423.60 — both registering a 0.5% decline.

Kamath’s advice

In a post on social media platform X, Kamath advised traders to consider stepping away from the market during the current turbulence as a result of US tariffs. “Good time to follow this advice. Over the next 10 days, there are only 4 trading days. It’s not a bad idea to take a break from trading and recharge. Judging by what’s happening, you’re going to need it,” he wrote, adding a nervous emoji to underscore the tension.

Kamath further emphasised the importance of monitoring both market trends and personal mental states. “When either one is not conducive to trading, it’s best to stand aside and wait for the situation to change. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you should trade even in these potentially debilitating conditions,” he advised.
