The stock market may have shown some growth in the first few days, but as time progressed, it now seems clear that the new year of 2026 has not brought anything good for the stock market. It is not good for stock market investors to lose more than Rs 19 lakh crore in 6 consecutive trading days. The special thing is that the Sensex has fallen by about 4 percent from its life time high. At the same time, due to decline in 6 consecutive days, Sensex has seen a fall of more than 2900 points.

Talking about the main reasons for the stock market, first America's conflict with Venezuela and then its enmity with Iran has completely spoiled the geopolitical tension. On the other hand, India's inability to reach a trade deal with America is also continuously spoiling the sentiment of investors. On the other hand, the migration of foreign investors has not stopped yet. The fall in rupee continues. Also, messing with Iran means interruption in the supply of crude oil and increase in prices. The effect of which is clearly visible on India's import bill.

In such a situation, there is no sentiment visible due to which the stock market can get even a slight boost. Let us also tell you what kind of figures are being seen in the stock market. Also, what are those 8 reasons due to which investors are facing huge losses?
