Global Economic Indicators: A robust U.S. jobs report indicated potential for fewer rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, leading to increased U.S. Treasury yields. This development has made emerging markets like India less attractive to foreign investors. REUTERS
Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) Activity: There has been a significant outflow of foreign investments, with FPIs withdrawing approximately ₹213.57 billion in January. This trend has exerted additional pressure on the Indian equity markets. REUTERS

Earnings Season Concerns: Weak Corporate Earnings: Expectations of weak earnings reports for the quarter from major companies in sectors like IT, financials, and consumer goods have dampened investor enthusiasm. 4. Sector-Specific Issues: Banking Sector: Rising bad loans and provisioning for non-performing assets (NPAs) have impacted the profitability of banks, leading to declines in banking stocks.
