Sensex Shows Rare Calm in 2025 Amid Global Turmoil
The Sensex, which is like a scoreboard for the Indian stock market, had a very calm year in 2025.
Usually, it goes up and down a lot because of things like tariffs and fights between countries.
But this time, it stayed pretty steady.
Over the last 30 years, the Sensex has had big ups and downs.
Some years it only went down a little, and other years it went down a lot.
But in 2025, it was different and stayed calm.
The Sensex experienced a rare period of calm in 2025 despite global turmoil.
Over the past 30 years, the Sensex has seen an average intra-year decline of 20%.
Eight years had dips of 10% or less, 11 years saw declines between 10% and 20%, and 11 years had declines exceeding 20%.
The calm in 2025 is notable given the usual volatility driven by tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
This period of stability is unusual for the Sensex, which typically experiences significant fluctuations.
