Rs 3 lakh crore selloff! Sensex tumbles over 500 pts, Nifty below 25,850. What spooked the Indian stock market today?

The Indian stock market witnessed a sharp decline, with the Sensex tumbling over 500 points and the Nifty falling below 25,850. This was triggered by stronger U.S. jobs data, which dampened hopes of near-term Fed rate cuts, leading to a risk-off mood. The Nifty IT index plunged nearly 4%, wiping out Rs 1.3 lakh crore in market value, due to fears of deeper disruption across India's tech sector following the launch of Anthropic's new AI tool. This development is significant for exam preparation as it highlights the impact of global economic factors and technological advancements on the Indian economy and stock market.
