📰 Key Drivers Behind the Drop

1. Weak Q1 earnings from TCS led to a sharp decline in IT sector stocks (TCS −3.4%, Infosys and Wipro also down)
2. S. trade policy concerns, including new tariffs on Canada and tensions over Russian sanctions, dampened global sentiment
3. Rising oil prices, driven by geopolitical uncertainty, added inflationary pressure
4. SEBI crackdown on pump-and-dump schemes increased risk-aversion
5. Broad-based selling across mid‑caps and small‑caps; only defensive sectors—FMCG (+0.5%) and Pharma (+0.7%)—managed gains.
