Sensex falls 300 points, Nifty below 23,700 as market extends losses. How long will the downtrend continue?

Indian stock markets opened lower on Tuesday, continuing their downward trajectory. The surge in crude oil prices coupled with anxieties over Federal Reserve rate hikes are major contributors to this decline. Moreover, the active IPO market is siphoning off significant capital from traditional stocks. Analysts expect this trend to extend in the near future and recommend that investors shift their focus toward large-cap stocks for improved risk-reward outcomes.
