Here are five reasons why Indian Markets are falling today

#1 Drop in Asian market

Asian stocks fell on Tuesday, led by declines in Chinese markets and semiconductor shares, as investors expressed concerns over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's policies.

Meanwhile, bitcoin surged to a record high, fueled by expectations that assets benefiting from the new administration will perform well. Markets are optimistic that Trump's second term will bring tax cuts and reduced regulations, boosting equities.

#2 FII Outflow

On 11 November, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) maintained their selling trend, offloading equities worth Rs 23.1 bn. Meanwhile, so far in November, FIIs have sold equities worth Rs 235.5 bn, following the Rs 940.2 bn worth of equities sold in October.

#3 Oil Drifts

Oil prices were little chnaged on Tuesday, awaiting further direction from OPEC's monthly report, as investor concerns over China's new stimulus plan and ongoing oversupply issues weighed on sentiment.Brent crude futures edged up 4 cents to US$ 71.87 per barrel by 0745 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped by 1 cent to US$ 68.03 per barrel.

#4 The Rupee Factor

The Indian rupee hit an all-time low on Tuesday, pressured by a decline in the Chinese yuan and other regional peers as the U.S. dollar continued its rally following Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. elections.

#5 October Inflation Data

Analysts expect October's inflation data, due after the market's close, to rise to around 5.8%, a 14-month high. This data is crucial as it may provide insights into the economy's condition and determine whether the Indian central bank will proceed with a 0.3% rate cut in December.

Speaking of the stock market, 32 auditors had resigned between January and May 2018. The number may seem miniscule given the quantum of listed stocks.

However, what was alarming was the rationale of the resignations, which weren't in the normal course of audit contracts.

The role of auditors truly came under the spotlight when a big 4 audit firm (PwC) was found guilty of shadowing the massive corporate governance lapse at Satyam Computers in 2008.

Tanushree Banerjee, research Analyst at Equitymatser in her latest video talks about how story repeated itself in 2018. While auditors were to play a crucial role in pointing red flags, they chose to turn a blind eye to some frauds. And when matters get worse, typically, the auditors resigned.

The story does not change in 2024
