    Incidentally, oil prices also plunged 30% after Saudi Arabia slashed prices, starting a price war.

    Here are more details.

    How does coronavirus outbreak impact markets globally?
  • The main reason for the tumbling global stocks is the coronavirus outbreak, which has spread to 100 countries around the world.

    The disease has sickened over a lakh across the globe and claimed 3,840 lives, thus greatly impacting economies.

    Analysts say that the disease has caused global panic among investors, who fear that the outbreak will tip the world economy into a recession.

  • Other reasons

    Other factors contributing to crisis on Dalal Street:

    Other factors contributing to crisis on Dalal Street:
  • Saudi Arabia launched an oil price war even as global demand has taken a hit amid the coronavirus outbreak. Saudis reportedly also plan on flooding the markets with its supply.

    Analysts said that the Yes Bank crisis raised concerns about the stability of India's banking system.

    Analysts also said that non-stop selling by the foreign institutional investors contributed to the crashing of domestic markets.
