Reasons for Market Downturn

  • Rising tensions in the Middle East, especially after Iran’s missile attacks on Israel, have raised fears of a larger conflict. This uncertainty has caused investors to sell off stocks.
  • SEBI has introduced stricter rules for trading in equity derivatives, making it more expensive and limiting the options available for trading.
  • Market participants believe that the above changes could reduce new movements in trading, creating a more challenging environment.
  • With crude oil prices going up due to concerns over potential supply problems in the Middle East, the market reacted negatively.
