The BSE Sensex had the greatest percentage fall since the year 2009 as Sensex slumped 1,625 points. If we look at it from the perspective of absolute value, the day had been proved as the third worst one for Sensex, the Indian rupee sinking to a low of 66.74/dollar. This crash resulted in wiping out investor wealth of a huge sum worth INR 7 lakh crore.
According to Raghuram Rajan, “India is better placed compared to other countries with low current account deficit, and fiscal deficit discipline, moderate inflation, low short-term foreign currency liabilities, very sizeable base of forex reserves.” “We will have no hesitation in using our reserves when appropriate to reduce volatility in the rupee,” he added.
Arun Jaitley also made an attempt of allaying apprehensions promising, “markets will settle down; the government and RBI are watching the situation closely.”
After this epic crash, it’s not at all possible for Twitter not to react on it in view of the fact that social media is active for all hot topics and Twitterians are just crazy to tweet on each and every burning issue.
