Why is market falling today? Sensex tumbles over 650 points, Nifty below 23,250. 5 factors behind Rs 4 lakh crore wipeout

Surging US 10-year Treasury bond yields to 19-year highs, heightened US Fed rate hike expectations, and rising crude oil prices above $102 per barrel triggered a sharp market selloff.
