Sensex Falls 455 Points on Foreign Outflows, Trade Concerns
Sensex slides on foreign fund outflows and trade worries, with Nifty retreating amid mixed global cues and rising volatility.
The Sensex declined 455 points as foreign fund outflows and trade-related concerns weighed on investor sentiment, adding to a week of heightened volatility. In the past five trading sessions, the BSE Sensex fell 2,185.77 points, or 2.54%, while the Nifty tumbled 645.25 points, or 2.45%.
Market participants said the sell-off reflects a broad risk-off mood as global cues and policy signals keep traders wary. Foreign institutional investors pulled back, amplifying the pressure on equities and keeping liquidity tight in early trade.
While the day’s moves were broad-based, analysts noted that volatility has become the norm rather than the exception as investors reassess exposure to cyclicals and defensives amid uncertain macro conditions.
Looking ahead, experts say volatility could persist until there is greater clarity on global growth and domestic policy direction. Some investors may view the pullback as an opportunity to re-balance portfolios and position for a potential recovery when sentiment stabilizes.
