Reasons Behind the Market Decline
The continued decline in the Indian stock market could be attributed to weak global markets, foreign investor sell-offs, and uncertainty surrounding interest rates. Additionally, concerns regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and global economic indicators have also impacted market sentiment.
Going forward, market movements will depend on global developments and domestic economic indicators. Investors are advised to remain cautious and analyze market trends before making investment decisions.
