The Indian markets are experiencing their longest losing streak in five months, down over 10% from September highs, driven by disappointing Q2 earnings, foreign outflows, and rising global tensions, particularly from the Ukraine conflict. With inflation surpassing the RBI's comfort zone and foreign investors retreating, the outlook remains bleak as the dollar reaches a one-year high, complicating the path to a bull market revival on Dalal Street. The current environment favors bears, leaving bulls with a challenging road ahead.
