Global Stock Market Crash: Recession Fears Shake Investors

What’s Causing the Market Crash?

Stock markets across the U.S., Europe, and Asia saw massive losses as investors feared an upcoming global recession.

✔ U.S. Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes to control inflation.
✔ China’s economic slowdown affecting global trade.
✔ Geopolitical tensions (Russia-NATO conflict) creating market uncertainty.
✔ Tech stock sell-off, with major firms like Apple, Google, and Tesla seeing sharp declines.

Economist Raghuram Rajan warned:
“The world economy is at a tipping point. Governments must act to prevent a full-scale recession.”

🔹 Stock Market Performance Today

Experts say this is the worst global stock market crash since 2020.

🔹 Impact on Indian Markets

The Indian stock market (Sensex & Nifty) was hit hard as global investors pulled out billions.

✔ Top losers: HDFC Bank, TCS, Reliance, Infosys, and ICICI Bank.
✔ Rupee hits a record low of ₹85 per USD.
✔ Foreign investors withdraw ₹15,000 crore from Indian stocks.

However, some experts believe this could be a buying opportunity for long-term investors.

🔹 How Are Investors Reacting?

✔ Gold & Silver Prices Surge: Investors shift to safe-haven assets.
✔ Bitcoin & Ethereum Jump 10%: Crypto investors see an opportunity.
✔ Real Estate Stocks Fall: Interest rate hikes reduce demand for housing loans.

Financial advisor Nilesh Shah says:
“This is a market correction, not a collapse. Smart investors should stay calm and look for value stocks.”

🔴 Short-Term Pain: More volatility expected in the next few weeks.
🟡 Interest Rate Decisions: RBI & Federal Reserve will decide on policy changes soon.
🟢 Long-Term Growth: Experts say strong economies like India and the U.S. will recover.

If inflation is controlled and geopolitical tensions ease, markets could stabilize in 3–6 months.

With the stock market crash causing panic worldwide, investors are seeking safe options. Experts advise caution and patience while governments work to stabilize the global economy.

For now, the focus is on central bank policies, inflation rates, and global trade conditions.
