3 reasons why Indian share markets are falling:

#1 Pharma Stocks Fall on US Tariff Concerns

Pharma stocks fell after US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on imported generic medicines in the coming years. The announcement raised concerns about the future earnings of Indian drugmakers, leading to selling across the sector.

#2 Brent Crude Rises Above $92

Crude oil prices climbed above $92 per barrel due to rising tensions in the Middle East. Higher oil prices could increase India's import bill, fuel inflation and raise costs for several businesses.

#3 Selling Pressure Across Sectors

Selling was seen across banking, IT and other sectors, pulling the broader market lower. However, auto stocks bucked the trend and gained after reporting strong quarterly business updates.

Speaking of stock markets, Rahul Shah, Research Analyst at Equitymaster, highlights the risks of rising valuations as investor money continues to flow into popular stocks and index funds.

He emphasizes that while passive investing is effective, investors should not ignore valuations, as even great assets can become poor investments when bought at excessive prices.
