The Indian market shined on the back of bumper buying by foreign investors

How did India’s stock market improve?

In fact, the results of the US midterm elections have raised hopes that the months-long Iran war in West Asia may be over. This hope has led to the biggest weekly drop in crude oil prices since April, directly benefiting India. Apart from this, the increasing control of the Democratic Party in the US Congress has reduced the uncertainty about the policies of the White House. Investors are now pulling money out of risky AI stocks and investing it in stable markets like India.

The chip companies’ beatings on Wall Street spoiled the game

The decline in foreign markets started from the American market on Thursday. There, the S&P 500 index fell 4.4 percent. It was the worst day since the tariff-related reduction in April 2025. At the same time, the Nasdaq 100 fell a whopping 6.4 percent, shedding $2.3 trillion in market value in a single day. This is the biggest drop in one day since March 2020.

After chip stocks took a hit in the US, investors began selling off artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks across Asia. Traders fear that the Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the US parliament, could impose stricter regulations on the AI ​​industry.

Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Taiwan’s TSMC were among the worst affected by the selloff. In Korea, shares of Samsung and SK Hynix fell more than 9 percent. On the other hand, Japan’s Nikkei has been falling steadily since late June. It is now on the verge of a 20 percent decline from its peak, which is considered a ‘technical bear market’.
