Why did the fall happen?
Geojit Financial Services' chief investment strategist V.K. Vijaykumar has called the rise in the yields of 10-year bonds in the US a matter of concern for the Indian market. He says that due to Trump's victory, there is already a situation of high volatility in the market. According to Vijaykumar, in such a situation, due to the increase in bond yields, investors will leave the emerging markets and invest in US bonds. Let us tell you that foreign institutional investors are constantly withdrawing money from the Indian market. In the first 5 trading sessions of November itself, FPIs have withdrawn about Rs 20,000 crore from the Indian market.
