Although there was some momentum in the stock market in the initial few days, but now it is becoming clear that the new year 2026 has not brought anything good for the stock market. The fact that investors have lost more than ₹19 lakh crore in the stock market in six consecutive trading days is not a good sign. The special thing is that the Sensex has fallen by about 4 percent from its all-time high. Due to continuous decline for six days, Sensex has fallen by more than 2900 points.
Talking about the main reasons for the stock market decline, the US confrontation with Venezuela, and its subsequent hostility towards Iran, has completely worsened the geopolitical tension. On the other hand, India’s inability to finalize a trade deal with the US is also continuously dampening investor sentiment. Moreover, the exodus of foreign investors has not stopped yet. The rupee is continuously weakening. Also, the conflict with Iran means interruption in the supply of crude oil and increase in prices, the impact of which is clearly visible on India’s import bill. In this situation, there is no sentiment that can give even the slightest boost to the stock market. Let us see what kind of data is visible in the stock market and what are the eight reasons due to which investors are incurring huge losses.
Stock market declined for the sixth consecutive day
The stock market is witnessing a decline for the sixth consecutive day. According to the data, Bombay Stock Exchange’s benchmark index, Sensex, witnessed a decline of 715 points during the trading session, taking the figure to 82,861.07 points. The special thing is that the Sensex has reached its lowest level since November 7. Although the Sensex had closed with a slight fall on Monday, the fall intensified during the trading session. At 12:10 pm, the Sensex was trading at 82,977.27 points, down 614.59 points.
The special thing is that the Sensex is falling for the sixth consecutive day. This means the Sensex has fallen 2,900.94 points in the last six days, causing a loss of 3.38 per cent for investors.
