Why is market falling today? Sensex drops over 700 points, Nifty below 23,700. 7 key factors behind D-Street selloff

Indian stock markets experienced sharp losses for a fifth straight session on Friday. Sensex and Nifty indices saw significant drops, reflecting investor concerns. Oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel and FII selling fueled the downturn. Broader markets and specific sectors also registered substantial declines. This selloff erased over Rs 3 lakh crore from market capitalization.
