Sensex Dips 500 Points: 9 Reasons Behind Today's Stock Market Crash

  • The Indian stock market continued its downward trend on Tuesday, with Sensex falling 479 points and Nifty down 171.75 points.
  • Key factors contributing to the decline include renewed trade war concerns, continuous selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), and mixed Q3 corporate results.
  • Weak global cues, a rise in India VIX (market volatility index), and a depreciating rupee further pressured the market.
  • Rising crude oil prices and anticipation of a US Supreme Court decision on Trump-era tariffs added to investor uncertainty.
  • Nifty's weekly expiry on Tuesday also contributed to increased intra-day market volatility.

Why It Matters: Multiple factors, including global tensions, FII selling, and mixed earnings, led to today's stock market decline.
