Nifty 50 Index Falls Seven Weeks, Breaking Key Technical Supports Amid Market Selloff
Indian equity markets are experiencing a sustained decline, with the NSE Nifty 50 Index falling for seven consecutive weeks and wiping out nearly $250 billion in market capitalization. The index recently breached its 200-day moving average on a weekly basis for the first time in six years, signaling technical weakness. This selloff is driven by multiple factors including rising global bond yields, increasing oil prices, a weakening rupee, and foreign investor withdrawals. Despite stocks trading at relatively low valuations, the market faces challenges amid inflation concerns and diminished appeal to global investors.
