Banking
Risk aversion can make financial stocks more sensitive to foreign outflows and weaker market breadth.
Potentially negative
NBFC

What happened
Wall Street dropped 1,200 points after bulls took a sharp U-turn. The move points to a broad loss of risk appetite in global equity markets.
Why it matters

Global impact
A sharp fall in US equities can weigh on Asian markets and trigger a cautious start in India. It may also lift volatility across global stocks as traders reassess growth and valuation risks.
