U.S. stock markets are experiencing significant declines driven by intensified geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, coupled with ongoing interest rate hikes. The Nifty index has fallen below 22,500, indicating a broader negative sentiment across various indices. Institutional selling is surging as retail investors lose confidence, with fears of further declines amid no signs of market stabilization. This downturn follows a shifting market sentiment where major tech stocks had already been under pressure from rising oil prices and conflict-related uncertainties earlier in the month.
Global equity markets are experiencing widespread declines, particularly in tech, contributing to a five-week losing streak amidst concerns about Federal Reserve rate hikes and persistent foreign outflows. While many indices and individual stocks show significant losses, some analysts identify emerging attractive valuations and opportunities, signaling potential turning points and offering a contrarian outlook on certain sectors.
