  • Global trade jitters singe Indian stock markets as FPIs offload big time; investors wealth worth
  • 9 trillion eroded

The article from MSN discusses a significant market correction in India, driven by a combination of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) sell-offs and retail investor panic. The sell-off was particularly pronounced in mid and small-cap stocks, which entered negative territory. This downturn was triggered by concerns over high valuations and potential regulatory changes, leading to a sharp decline in market indices. The article highlights that the market had been on an upward trend, but recent global economic uncertainties and domestic policy shifts prompted FPIs to reduce their exposure to Indian equities. Additionally, retail investors, caught in the frenzy, started panic selling, exacerbating the market's fall. The piece also notes that while large-cap stocks experienced less severe drops, the overall market sentiment has turned cautious, with experts advising investors to reassess their portfolios in light of the changing economic landscape.
