News Topical, Digital Desk : The stock market has been experiencing significant volatility and selling for some time now. The Nifty 500 index has fallen by more than 10% in the past month alone. This decline is attributed to several factors, including slowing economic growth, rising inflation, and tight financial conditions.
Additionally, geopolitical tensions have significantly increased investor concern. The Russia-Ukraine war has already severely disrupted global supply chains, but now escalating tensions between Iran and Israel have raised serious regional security concerns. The biggest impact could be on the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of the world's crude oil passes. Any disruption to this route could lead to a sharp surge in energy prices.
Amid these global challenges, stocks of companies in the banking, real estate, energy, and industrial sectors have seen a sharp decline. However, despite this sharp decline in the stock market, some companies have reported excellent quarterly results and a significant jump in profits. Jagran Business has researched BSE and NSE data and is highlighting four such stocks that have fallen by up to 47% in the past month, but their fundamentals still appear strong.
