At the same time, the market has seen a sharp fall over the past few days, causing huge losses for investors.
Let’s understand what’s happening.
Stock Market Closed, But Investors Face Big Losses
The recent fall in the market has wiped out nearly ₹18.60 lakh crore of investor wealth in just two trading sessions.
The benchmark index BSE Sensex has dropped more than 4% during this period.
On Monday alone, it fell by 1,635.67 points (2.22%) and closed at 71,947.55.
This decline has reduced the total market value of listed companies significantly.
Why Is the Market Falling?
There are several reasons behind this sharp fall:
Ongoing tensions in West Asia
Rising crude oil prices
Weak global market sentiment
Continuous selling by foreign investors
Due to these factors, investor confidence has weakened.
Experts say that since the start of the West Asia conflict on February 28, the Sensex has fallen by over 9,300 points, which is a decline of around 11.48% in just one month.

Short-term volatility may continue, so careful planning is important.
