Why Stock Market Crash Today
There are mainly the three factors, why both Sensex and Nifty fell sharply on Monday.
1. Covid-19 Cases: The week started on a negative note for the Indians Stocks Market mainly due to a sharp surge in the COVID-19 cases across the country. While rising covid cases lead to market weakness in early trade, the fear of fresh lockdowns seems to have taken a bigger toll on the stock market.
Maharashtra government imposed stringent curbs including a complete lockdown on weekends in the state.

2. Spike in Bonds yield: A spike in the US bonds yield also dented market moods on Monday. The two-year US treasury yield rose to 0.186%, near its eight-month peak of 0.194% touched in late February.
A spike in the bond yields does not bode well for emerging markets like India as they lead to FII outflows.
3. Waiver of Interest on Loan A/c- Meanwhile, a media report said state-run lenders may have to bear a burden of up to 20 billion rupees due to a recent court ruling on the waiver of interest on all loans a/cs which opted for a moratorium last year.
