Biggest weekly Loss for Sensex since May 2020, Nifty drops for sixth straight day | Oneindia News
On Friday, world markets finished their worst weekly decline since the pandemic meltdown of March 2020, as investors concerned that inflation-fighting central banks' stricter monetary policies would harm economic development.
The highest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve since 1994, the first such action by the Swiss in 15 years, the sixth rate hike in the UK since December, and a move by the European Central Bank to support the indebted south all roiled markets.
Market pressure persisted for the third consecutive session as key indices, including Sensex, Nifty, and Nifty Bank, witnessed notable declines. The midcap index closed in the red despite performing relatively better. Geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel contributed to the market downturn. US stock futures dipped after major benchmarks suffered losses, while European and Asia-Pacific markets also experienced significant drops.

with higher rates causing would-be
home sellers to put their plans on hold. .
It won't continue
indefinitely, but it certainly
is disruptive right now, Gary Shilling, Economist, via Yahoo Finance.

unlikely to fall much further in the near term, meaning
that a more substantial rebound may still be far off.
