Share Market Today / Why did the Indian stock market fall suddenly? These are the 3 big reasons

Share Market Today: On the last day of the trading week, Friday 25 April, the Indian stock market witnessed a huge decline. The main reason for this was the increasing tension between India and Pakistan after the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. This geopolitical instability had a direct impact on investor sentiment and a massive sell-off was seen in the market.

The market showed some strength early in the morning, but negative trends soon engulfed it. The Sensex closed down 881.49 points at 78,919.94, while the Nifty fell 285.05 points to 23,961.65. This was the second consecutive day when the Nifty slipped below the psychological level of 24,000.

Biggest blow in mid and small cap

The biggest impact of this decline was seen on the mid and small cap index. Investors in these categories suffered the most and several thousand crores of rupees were lost in terms of market capitalization. Interestingly, despite positive signals from global markets—Hong Kong's Hang Seng, Japan's Nikkei 225, China's Shanghai SSE and South Korea's Kospi were in profit—an atmosphere of fear still prevailed in the domestic market.

These stocks suffered the most

Shares of many of the 30 Sensex giants fell sharply. Axis Bank's stock fell by 3.50 percent. Apart from this, shares of Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra and Eternal also suffered heavy losses.

Some stocks showed strength

Amidst the falling market, some giant companies showed strength. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Reliance Industries, HCL Tech, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank made profits and balanced the market to some extent. The strong financial position of these companies and the interest of foreign investors supported them.
