Why the Market Down Today
The Stock Market 30 October decline was driven by a combination of global and domestic factors that spooked short-term investors.
1️⃣ Global Weakness:
Overnight U.S. and Asian markets turned mixed as investors reacted to cautious comments from the US Federal Reserve about future rate cuts. Uncertainty in global bond yields also dampened risk appetite.
2️⃣ Profit Booking After Rally:
After the strong run-up seen in the previous two sessions, traders opted to lock in gains, particularly in heavyweight sectors like banking, IT, and pharma.
3️⃣ FII Selling Pressure:
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the equity market, taking money off the table ahead of month-end adjustments.
4️⃣ Weak Rupee:
The Indian rupee depreciated slightly against the dollar, creating short-term uncertainty among foreign investors.
5️⃣ Mixed Corporate Results:
Although several mid-cap companies posted impressive numbers, large-cap stocks like Dr. Reddy’s and LIC Housing Finance missed expectations, dragging overall sentiment lower.

Sectors like infrastructure, defence, and manufacturing continue to see strong order momentum. Analysts also suggest keeping an eye on banking and auto stocks, which may lead the next leg of recovery once volatility cools.
