Foreign outflows and global risks pressure Indian stocks

Indian equities fell sharply as crude prices and global bond yields rose, with foreign investors withdrawing over ₹3 lakh crore over nine months, including ₹35,860 crore in September. The selloff left 252 Nifty 500 stocks more than 30% below their highs and 84% of Nifty 50 stocks below their 200-day moving averages.
