Reasons for Nifty and Sensex today’s fall



Today morning Asian markets were positive, Sgx Nifty price was showing a positive indication for the Indian share market. As expected Indian share market also opened in green but immediately after a few minutes market fell. In the second half, it was like a free fall. Today’s market fall is due to two reasons they are 


1.The Government's stance on the “super-rich” tax on FPI, which finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman yesterday said would not be changed

2. The second reason for market fall is due to the announcement of “weak  Q1 earnings”

In the Q1 result front apart from Infosys and IndusInd Bank, there was hardly any other stock that created an impact in the market. Yes Bank, Federal Bank, Mindtree, Wipro, DCB Bank, RBL Bank has disappointed the Street.


The domestic cues are worrisome for the Indian share market in the short term. Other than the above two factors weak monsoon, selling pressure by FIIs are two more reasons that dragged down the Indian share market.


There are around 2000 active FPIs in India share market. We may see some more selling pressure in the next week. To know the Weekly analysis, Nifty and Bank Nifty you can visit our website on coming Sunday 21st July.
