Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why did the Indian stock market experience a bearish trend today?
The market had a bearish day primarily due to strong selling pressure from both FIIs and DIIs. Nifty and Sensex both saw a significant drop in the morning session and a further decline towards the end of the day, closing near their day's low. This indicates a broad-based negative sentiment.
What does the FII and DII activity reveal about today's market crash?
Today's data shows that both Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net sellers. This collective selling pressure, with a total net outflow of nearly ₹2,000 crores, was a major factor contributing to the significant drop and bearish trend observed across the market indices.
Why did India VIX rise today?
The India VIX, a key measure of market volatility, rose significantly by over 3%. This increase is a direct result of the market's downturn and increased selling pressure. A rising VIX indicates growing fear and uncertainty among investors, who anticipate further price swings in the near future.
