reason behind the decline
Rising US inflation and escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel have put pressure on global markets, leading to higher volumes in the market, leading to profit-booking. Over volume was recorded in most of the Sensex and Nifty stocks. That's why correction has been seen.
In the eyes of experts
The stock markets have made new all-time highs with a sustained rise at the beginning of the week. After this peak, profit-taking has increased in the market. Correction may be seen in the market. On the other hand, top research firms including ADB and World Bank have predicted India's economic growth to remain strong. Barring global challenges, the overall domestic market may remain bullish.
