4. The strengthening of dollar and the rising yields, a global exodus can be consider as an other reason for the market fall. The US economy, coupled with expectations of tighter monetary policy, is spurring capital outflows from emerging markets.

Weaker than expected US retail sales data have also raised doubts about the strength of consumer spending and economic growth.
