ET Market Watch: Why did markets fall today? Sensex down 800+ pts
Transcript Hi, you're listening to ET Markets Radio, I am your host Neha V Mahajan. Welcome to a fresh episode of ET Market Watch -- where we bring you the latest news from the world of stock markets every single day. Let's get to it: Sensex fell over 800 pts while Nifty was below 24,700 level. So why did the markets fall today? Here are the top 4 reasons behind the slide ⬇️ 1. Moody's Downgrade Hits Global Sentiment Moody's cut the US government credit rating over rising debt concerns. Bond yields spiked — spooking global investors and triggering a risk-off mood across emerging markets, including India. 2. FIIs & DIIs Both Turn Sellers Foreign investors pulled out ₹526 Cr, while domestic institutions sold ₹238 Cr — the first time in over a month that both dumped shares on the same day. 3. Profit Booking After a 9-Day Rally Markets surged nearly 4% after the ceasefire rally. Investors are now locking in profits at elevated valuations. 4. Big Names Drag Down Indices HDFC Bank, Reliance, ICICI Bank, M&M, and Bajaj Finance saw heavy selling. Eternal dropped 4% amid concerns of MSCI exclusion and a potential $1.3B outflow. Stay tuned — volatility may not be over yet.
