Sensex Dips 250 Pts, Nifty Below 25,750: 8 Factors Behind Market Decline

• Indian benchmark equity indices, Sensex and Nifty, closed lower on Tuesday after retreating from early highs.
• Key factors for the decline include profit booking, persistent FII selling (Rs 3,638.40 crore on Monday), and a weakening rupee.
• US President Donald Trump's announcement of new 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran raised global trade concerns.
• Muted Q4 results from IT giants like TCS (13.91% profit drop) and HCL Technologies (11.2% profit decline) impacted the sector.
• Higher crude oil prices, Nifty derivatives expiry volatility, and weak global cues also contributed to the market downturn.

Why It Matters: Indian markets fell due to profit booking, FII outflows, global trade tensions, and weak IT earnings.
