Markets are ready to test Election results Day low?

The Sensex dropped 780 points, and the Nifty fell below 22,900 due to negative global trends. Small-cap and mid-cap indices also plunged, losing up to 3%. Investors worried about a global economic slowdown, rising inflation, and tighter monetary policies by central banks. These factors fueled fears of a potential recession, which could hurt corporate earnings and market confidence.

Sectors like banking, IT, and auto saw heavy selling. Global market volatility, especially in the US and Europe, added to the uncertainty in Indian markets. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) also sold Indian stocks, worsening the decline.

Despite the downturn, some experts believe India’s long-term economic fundamentals remain strong. They suggest the current correction could offer buying opportunities. However, in the short term, investors should stay cautious and watch global developments, as they will likely drive market trends. The overall sentiment remains bearish, with more volatility expected soon.
