Why Are Markets Falling?
Analysts attribute today’s decline to:
Profit-booking after recent market highs.
Weak global cues from US and Asian markets.
FII (Foreign Institutional Investor) outflows amid rising US bond yields.
Decline in metal prices due to global demand concerns.
The volatility index (India VIX) also rose over 5%, indicating higher market uncertainty.
Broader Market Performance
Mid-cap and small-cap indices underperformed, with losses up to 0.8%, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.
The Rupee traded weaker against the US Dollar, further dampening investor confidence.
Global Market Impact
Asian and European markets also traded lower due to concerns over US inflation, oil price fluctuations, and slowing demand in China.
Wall Street’s overnight weakness and cautious corporate earnings have further weighed on global sentiment.
Outlook for Investors
Market watchers suggest maintaining a stock-specific approach rather than broad exposure during this volatile phase.
