Sensex Today : Indian Stock Market Slumps For Sixth Straight Day As Nifty 50 Falls Below 25,500

New Delhi: The Indian stock market opened with a decline for the sixth consecutive day on January 12.. During this period, BSE Sensex fell by about 500 points and closed at around the 83,000 level, while Nifty 50 also fell by about 0.6% (25,488.95). The total wealth of investors declined by more than Rs 17 lakh crore due to heavy selling in the market in six sessions. Market experts are considering this as the worst week in the last three months, in which the uneasiness of investors was clearly visible.

Reason 1: What caused the decline in the stock market?

There has been concern regarding America's trade policies in the Indian market. Recently, uncertainty over possible tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration and the US-India trade deal has unsettled investors. Experts say that if this tariff is implemented, it will have a big impact on Indian exports.

Reason 2: Did the selling by foreign investors increase the pressure?

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have continued selling. FIIs have been withdrawing from the market for the last few months. There has also been a large amount of selling in the early weeks of January. Due to this, the demand balance in the market got disturbed, and the pressure increased further.

Reason 3: Is the pressure from global markets having an impact?

Weak signals in global markets have also affected the Indian stock market. Uncertainty has increased in the US regarding the policies of the Federal Reserve and other global economies. Weak global sentiment has also pulled the Indian market down.

Reason 4: Are crude oil prices suppressing the market?

Fluctuations in crude oil prices have also been an important factor. Investors remained concerned about oil prices amid rising risks in the energy market and geopolitical tensions. For an oil-importing country like India, this concern is helping to create a negative mood in the market.

Reason 5: Are technical signals keeping the market in a downtrend?

The weak condition of the market is also visible on the technical charts. Major indices are trading below important support levels. According to technical analysis, when the market remains below key moving averages, selling pressure increases.

What are experts suggesting?

Analysts say that at present there is an atmosphere of fear and anxiety in the market. Some experts consider this a temporary decline but are advising investors to exercise patience and caution. Stability can return to the market only when clear messages are received from economic policies and global signals.

The overall market scenario shows that multiple global and domestic pressures are acting simultaneously. Investors are currently avoiding weak trends and waiting for primary signals.
