BSE Smallcap, Midcap Stocks Fall 13%, Behind Benchmark Sensex

BSE smallcap and midcap stocks have trailed behind the benchmark Sensex this year, declining 13%, as analysts say these indexes rose faster than the flagship index during the "good days." With the advent of geopolitical tensions, inflation fears, and unrelenting selling by foreign funds, equity markets have experienced several obstacles this year. So far this year, BSE smallcap index has been down 12.95%, while the midcap index has fallen 9.26%.
