However, in the last quarter of the year, on account of pressure on fiscal, current account deficit, rising crude oil prices and depreciation of rupee in terms of dollar, there was a setback. Further the rising interest rates, willful defaults and bank frauds, had severe impact on the business environment including the capital market during the period January-March 2018. The negative market sentiment had taken toll on mid cap and small cap stocks with the result more than 500 stocks have been corrected between 30% to 70% since their highs in January 2018.
