Why is market falling today? Sensex tanks 700 pts, Nifty below 23,900; 5 key triggers behind D-St selloff

Indian stock markets experienced a significant downturn on Tuesday, with the Sensex and Nifty seeing substantial losses and wiping out nearly Rs 4.57 lakh crore in investor wealth. This decline was largely influenced by weak global cues, particularly a sharp crash in South Korea's Kospi index and a selloff in technology stocks. Major Indian companies like Infosys and TCS also faced considerable drops, contributing to the market's downward trend.
