Nifty 500’s hidden bear market: Half the stocks are down over 30% from highs

The Nifty 500 index has a significant number of stocks that have declined sharply from their peak levels. About half of the stocks in this index have fallen by over 30%, with 252 stocks experiencing this level of decline. This downturn is affecting large-cap stocks across the board, which could have broader implications for the market. The presence of foreign selling pressures adds to the risks, making a relief rally uncertain.

Why it matters

The significant decline in Nifty 500 stocks from their peak levels indicates a hidden bear market. This could lead to a decline in investor sentiment towards the Indian market.
