Nifty 50 : Reason behind the spectacular surge in the Indian stock market
Elated by the recent market correction, investors are flocking back to Indian equities, lured by prospects for the medium to long term.
V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, underscored the bullish mood of the market and hailed the significant upward thrust. He highlighted the Nifty’s recent surge of 322 points over the last two trading days, signaling a sustained upward momentum.
Furthermore, Vijayakumar noted that some mutual funds have reportedly begun curbing redemptions from small-cap schemes due to concerns about frothy valuations, potentially diverting more funds into large-cap stocks and giving them an extra push.
According to ICICI Direct, the Nifty 50 is poised to maintain a sunny disposition, with immediate support for the index hovering around 22,000. The brokerage firm envisions the index charting a steady upward course, inching towards 22,700 in the weeks ahead.
In line with historical patterns, ICICI Direct forecasts a bullish rally for the index towards 23,400 by the time of elections. Despite ongoing hurdles, experts maintain an upbeat outlook for the Sensex and the Nifty 50, anticipating robust growth in the new fiscal year.
Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer at Axis Securities PMS, anticipates healthy double-digit returns for the Nifty 50, driven by consistent earnings growth and a favorable interest rate environment.
Likewise, Niraj Kumar, Chief Investment Officer at Future Generali India Life Insurance Company, anticipates FY25 to be marked by sustained corporate earnings growth, policy continuity, and a favorable geopolitical landscape. Any deviation from these expectations could potentially sway market sentiment.
