Expert Insights
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, noted that despite global uncertainties, particularly regarding tensions between Trump and the Federal Reserve, the domestic market remains buoyant. He highlighted how the Reserve Bank of India’s relaxed liquidity coverage guidelines are set to stimulate credit growth, positively impacting the financial landscape.
Foreign investments have shown resilience for four consecutive days, driven by a weakening dollar and appealing valuations. Additionally, the improving domestic macroeconomic climate—characterized by declining inflation and the anticipation of further RBI rate cuts—is expected to enhance corporate earnings in FY26.
Nifty 50 Insights
According to Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, the Nifty 50 index has remained largely stable, closing with a small-bodied, indecisive candle. It consistently stayed above the 200-day moving average (DMA), although upward momentum has been constrained.
- Outlook:
- The short-term bullish sentiment remains, with potential upward movement towards 24,500.
- Support is identified at 24,000; a drop below this level could initiate a minor pullback.
Conclusion
As the market continues to thrive, investors are encouraged to stay informed about these developments and monitor economic indicators that could influence market dynamics.
