New Delhi. This week was a huge decline for the Indian stock market. The BSE Sensex fell nearly 2,000 points (about 2.7%) in the week-long selloff, while the Nifty 50 fell about 3.1%. During this period, the total market capitalization of the stock market decreased by about ₹ 15 lakh crore, which caused a big shock to the investors.
Main reasons for decline
According to experts, there were several major reasons behind the weakness in the market –
Continuous selling by foreign institutional investors (FPIs).
Sharp rise in crude oil prices.
Capital withdrawal from emerging markets due to rising bond yields in America.
Increasing geopolitical tension in West Asia.
Weakness in rupee against dollar.
Heavy selling in banking, auto, metal and real estate stocks.
Increasing nervousness among investors due to breaking of technical levels.
What will be the market trend going forward?
Market experts believe that the market may remain volatile in the next week also. Investors will keep an eye on the activities of foreign investors, crude oil prices, global developments and the policies of the Reserve Bank of India. If crude oil prices soften and foreign selling reduces, then a technical correction may be seen in the market.
advice for investors
Experts say that one should avoid panic selling investments during market decline. Long-term investors are advised to remain invested in companies with strong fundamentals and keep in mind their risk appetite and the advice of a financial advisor before making any fresh investments.
