Why did the market suddenly fall today?
A decline in the share market is caused by factors like global economic concerns, FII outflows, weak corporate earnings, rising interest rates, and global market volatility, all of which negatively impact investor confidence and trigger sell-offs. A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a major cross-section of a stock market, resulting in a significant loss of paper wealth. Crashes are driven by panic selling and underlying economic factors. They often follow speculation and economic bubbles.
