The stock market isn’t smiling this week. The Sensex dropped sharply, triggering anxiety among retail investors. But before you hit the sell button in panic, take a breath.
What does this correction mean for your portfolio?
Should you hold, sell, or buy more?
Vizzve Finance gives you the clarity you need right now.
📊 What’s Causing the Sensex Dip?
Several factors have contributed to the sudden fall:
📉 Global cues: Weak U.S. economic data, geopolitical tensions, or Fed interest rate concerns.
🏦 FII outflows: Foreign investors pulling out funds from Indian equities.
🛢️ Rising crude oil prices: Fuel inflation fears.
📉 IT and bank stocks tumbling: Pulling the index down.
📈 Overvaluation: Some sectors may be seeing profit booking after months of rally.
🧠 Vizzve View: What Should Retail Investors Do?
1. Don’t Panic Sell
Short-term market dips are normal. Selling out in fear can lock in losses.
📌 Vizzve Tip: Look at your long-term goals before making any moves.
2. Review Asset Allocation
Ensure your equity-debt ratio aligns with your age and risk appetite.
📌 Vizzve Tip: Use Vizzve's Portfolio Balancer tool to adjust based on market conditions.
3. Avoid Herd Mentality
Just because others are exiting doesn't mean you should too. Every investor’s journey is unique.
📌 Vizzve Tip: Set financial goals and stick to them—not to market noise.
4. Look for Buying Opportunities
Market dips can offer great entry points for quality stocks at a discount.
📌 Vizzve Tip: Use our Stock Watchlist tool to track fundamentally strong stocks.
5. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs)
Corrections are a blessing for SIP investors. You get more units at lower NAVs.
📌 Vizzve Tip: Stay consistent with your SIPs—don’t stop during market drops.
