📝 US Fed cuts key interest rates by 0.25% in 3rd straight reduction
📉
The Sensex tanked over 1,000 points today, December 19, 2024, primarily due to the US Federal Reserve's decision to slow down rate cuts in 2025. This move has led to a surge in Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, causing investors to become risk-averse and sell off stocks .
The Fed's cautious stance on future rate cuts has also led to a decline in Asian stocks, with Japan's Nikkei falling 1.8% and Australian shares sliding over 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged over 1,000 points in response to the Fed's decision ¹.
Other factors contributing to the Sensex decline include:
- Weak Q4 Earnings: Muted cues from the Q4 earnings of large-cap companies have further dampened investor sentiment.
- FII Selling: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have been continuously selling in the Indian market, putting downward pressure on the Sensex.
Overall, the Sensex decline is a result of global market trends and investor sentiment, rather than any specific domestic factors.
