One Tweet. Trillions Lost. April 7, 2025, will go down as a masterclass in how fragile global markets really are. A single tweet about fake tariff news triggered a global selloff, wiping out billions across major economies. Look at this chart again: Hang Seng: -13.2% Nikkei: -7.8% DAX: -6.2% S&P 500: -5.0% But India? Nifty 50 fell just 4.0%. Here’s what the data is quietly screaming: • 150M+ retail investors. They don’t panic sell like the big boys do. • SIP inflows hit ₹19,000 Cr+ monthly. That’s long-term conviction money. • Private consumption = 60% of India’s GDP. We don’t rely on exports like others do. While the world runs on institutions, India runs on the investor next door. Is this a strength… or a warning? • Can this wave of retail faith sustain if real shocks hit us? • Are we becoming too reliant on SIPs as a “market shock absorber”? • What happens when this retail optimism turns? What do you think? Is India building an economic shield—or setting up a retail bubble?
