The Indian stock market has experienced notable volatility, with the Sensex recently falling nearly 800 points from its day's high, settling below 22,400. The Nifty index also faced pressure, dropping below 22,500. This downturn is attributed to various factors, including fears of a trade war and a broader market decline. Capital market-focused stocks have been particularly affected, with companies like HDFC Asset Management Company (AMC) and others witnessing declines of up to 3%. Additionally, data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) revealed that equity mutual fund inflows fell by 26% in February, reaching Rs 29,303 crore, marking a significant drop amid the market's downturn. The overall sentiment in the market remains cautious, with retail participation weakening due to a five-month equity downturn that has impacted trading volumes in both equities and derivatives.
