Why Sensex Falling

25 March 2014: The Sensex has experienced some recent downturns, and there are several contributing factors:

1. Profit Booking: After a period of strong growth, investors might be taking profits by selling their shares, leading to a natural correction in stock prices.
2. Global Market Cues: The Indian market is influenced by global trends. If other major markets are down, it can cause a ripple effect and lead to a decline in the Sensex.
3. Concerns over Valuations: Some analysts believe that certain sectors of the Indian market, particularly small-caps, may be overvalued. This can lead to investor wariness and selling, driving the Sensex down.
4. Disappointing Economic Indicators: Weak economic data, like high inflation or lower industrial output, can cast a shadow over investor confidence and lead to selling in the Sensex.
5. Central Bank Policy: Recent US inflation figures have increased speculation that the Federal Reserve might delay interest rate cuts. This could deter foreign investment in emerging markets like India, impacting the Sensex.
6. IT Sector Sell-off: Accenture, a major IT player globally, lowered its revenue forecast. This triggered concerns about a slowdown in the IT sector, leading investors to sell shares of Indian IT companies, which are significant contributors to the Sensex.

Remember, the stock market is complex and influenced by many forces. These are some of the reasons that might be influencing the Sensex's recent decline.
