Does Global Events Affect Indian Equity Markets?

The world is more interconnected than ever, and so are its financial markets. Investors often focus solely on domestic news—budget announcements, RBI policy, or corporate earnings—but forget that global events can significantly sway the Indian equity markets. Whether it’s a war in the Middle East, interest rate hikes in the U.S., or a banking crisis in Europe, these events ripple across borders and reach Dalal Street.

The below are the key factors impacting Indian stock market:

  • US Federal Reserve Decisions: Interest Rates & Liquidity
  • Crude Oil Price Shocks
  • Geopolitical Tensions & Wars
  • Global Financial Crises or Bank Failures
  • Slowdowns in Major Economies (China, US, EU)
  • Positive Global Trends Can Lift Indian Markets Too
