NIFTY50 closed 486 points or 2.0% lower at 22,819, with a day low of 22,804. Meanwhile, BSE SENSEX declined 1,690 points or 2.2% at 73,583. SENSEX hit a day low of 73,534 today.

Amid a substantial market fall, investors witnessed over ₹8 lakh crore of cumulative market cap loss. BSE-listed stocks market cap dropped to ₹423 lakh crore from ₹431 lakh crore in the previous session.

Three key factors behind market fall

Weak global markets: Domestic markets were closed on March 26 on account of Ram Navami. However, the US and Asian markets were open yesterday and closed lower, which was replicated by Indian markets today. On March 26, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 469 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, Asian markets are trading mixed, with the Nikkei 225 closing in the red amid persisting uncertainties over the US-Iran war.
Indian Rupee free fall continues: Weakness in the Indian rupee continues to impact the market sentiments as the rupee breached the psychologically crucial level of 94 against the US dollar for the first time. The domestic currency dropped to as low as 94.65 against the dollar today. Weak Indian rupee impacts the Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) return earned from the Indian markets, which further leads to foreign capital outflows from the market.
Oil prices surge again: Brent Crude oil prices have rebounded in the past few trading sessions to trade around $102 per barrel. Experts believe the spike in oil prices could trigger another round of sell-off in the Indian market.

Broader market indices like NIFTY Midcap100 (-1.7%) and NIFTY Smallcap100 (-1.8%) are also trading lower. More than 470 stocks hit their 52-week low today as investors did profit booking amid weak market sentiments.

The volatility index, or India VIX, is up 8.1% to 26.61. Except for the NIFTY IT index (+0.5%), all the sectoral indices are trading red with NIFTY PSU Bank (-3.1%), NIFTY Chemicals (-2.8%) and NIFTY Financial Services (-2.6%) among the top sectoral losers.
