Indian stock market crashes amid virus outbreak and global concerns

The Indian stock market experienced a significant downturn, with the Sensex plummeting over 1,300 points and the Nifty 50 falling below 23,600, driven by fears of a new virus outbreak in China. All sectoral indices were in the red, particularly Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Metals, while broader markets also faced heavy selling. The emergence of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) in Bengaluru, linked to respiratory illnesses, added to investor anxiety amid weak Asian market sentiment influenced by potential U.S. trade policy changes.
