Indian markets faced a significant downturn today, driven by a combination of global and domestic factors. The primary catalyst was the massive FII outflows triggered by heightened expectations of US interest rate hikes following a concerning inflation report. This led to increased market volatility and pressure on the rupee. Additionally, geopolitical tensions from the Iran conflict have intensified, pushing up energy prices and contributing to domestic inflation fears, further unsettling investors.
