💼 A perplexing market action in recent days is the inexplicable volatility in FII activity. 💼 A few days of buying followed by yesterday’s massive selling of Rs 11,756 crores is difficult to explain. 💼 What are the factors contributing to this apparently irrational activity? Is this a one-off? Or, is there more to come? Answers to these questions will be available in the coming days. 💼 It is better for investors to wait and watch. Lots of stock-specific actions are likely starting today in response to the inclusion of 45 new stocks to the F&O list. 💼 Buy-on-dips strategy may not yield short-term gains in this market. But this strategy can be applied by investors with a medium to long-term time horizon. 💼 Large caps in financials, IT, capital goods, and telecom are ideal for accumulation from a medium to long-term perspective. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 The consolidation phase in the market is likely to continue in the near term. A clear positive for the market is the cessation of relentless selling by the FIIs. 💼 This will give confidence to the retail investors to again start buying aggressively. But there is no room for such high optimism. 💼 Strong dollar is a negative for emerging markets and, therefore, FIIs are unlikely to turn aggressive buyers. 💼 Also, large institutions would prefer to wait and watch for clarity on Trump’s policies and their likely impact on trade and the global economy. 💼 Market action could be stock-specific in response to news flows, like in the case of Adani stocks. 💼 A healthy trend in the market is the fundamentally-driven up move in quality banking stocks. 💼 The resilience in the health care segment can sustain. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼President-elect Trump has already started declaring what he intends to do immediately on his taking office on January 20th. 💼25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports and an additional 10% tariffs on Chinese imports have already been announced. 💼How these countries react to these tariffs remains to be seen. Trump has declared only 10% additional tariffs on Chinese imports indicate that he will be careful not to trigger imported inflation in the US. 💼Market participants will be closely watching this trade space which has become unpredictable. 💼India is unlikely to be impacted in the initial phase of Trump’s tariff plan but may come under Trump’s radar soon since India has trade surplus with the US. 💼Market is likely to consolidate around the current levels since there are no immediate triggers for a breakout or a break down. 💼A major market concern from relentless FII selling is receding since they have turned buyers, though marginally. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼The two-day rally in the market is unlikely to sustain beyond a point since earnings concerns are major headwinds. 💼The impact of short covering and the positive sentimental effect of the Maharashtra election results will be temporary. 💼Too much should not be read into the FIIs turning big buyers yesterday since that was due to MSCI rebalancing with higher weightage to HDFC Bank. 💼Leading banks will remain resilient due to consistent buying and reasonable valuations. 💼In the coming days attention will be focused on what President Trump will do. 💼Trump’s selection of Scott Bessent as the Treasury Secretary is a positive from the market perspective since he is regarded as a fiscal conservative. 💼This can help bring down the bond yields in US thereby favouring EMs. But as of now, the dollar index above 107 is a headwind. 💼A sustained rally in the market can happen only when indicators of earnings revival emerge. This is sometime away. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼The ability of the market to surprise was evident in the 557 point spurt in the Nifty on Friday. 💼This sharp upswing will continue today assisted by the super NDA performance in Maharashtra. 💼The political message from this election is huge and highly positive from the market perspective. 💼A significant feature of the Friday rally was the sharp spurts in many largecaps with some stocks shooting up by more than 4%. 💼This clearly indicates short covering, which will keep the market resilient today. 💼Whether the rally will continue beyond a couple of days remains to be seen since the earnings headwinds will continue to constrain the bulls. 💼Banking and IT are on strong wicket assisted by fair valuations and reasonable growth prospects. 💼Watch out for capital goods, telecom and pharma stocks. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼There are some important takeaways from the market trends in the present context. 💼The Russia-Ukraine war has escalated with Russia firing even Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles. 💼The relentless selling by FIIs continues with the selling spree reaching a record continuous 37 days. 💼But the market has corrected only by about 11% from the September peak. 💼This is a correction, not a crash. The mother market US is bullish with 25.43% return YTD. These factors suggest that the undertone of this market is positive. 💼The market can recover from the present levels since yesterday’s selling was largely due to the fall out of the Adani issue. 💼But considering the headwinds the market is facing, a sustained recovery is unlikely. 💼The strength in the broader market should not be confused with the fundamental strength of the segment. 💼The strength of the broader market, particularly the midcaps, is due to liquidity and not fundamentals. 💼Fundamental strength and safety are in large-caps. Banking and IT are fairly valued. FMCG, metals and Oil& Gas are weak. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼The escalation of tensions in the Ukraine-Russia war can weigh on markets. 💼The element of uncertainty caused by the escalations is high and therefore most market participants are likely to be in a wait and watch mode. 💼However, any sharp slide in the market appears unlikely since the mother market US has largely downplayed the escalation. 💼Sectors to watch are hotels, aviation, banking, telecom, IT and pharma which are doing well. 💼FMCG, cement, petroleum refining and metals are weak. 💼Mutual fund schemes in Banking are ideal for investment now. 💼Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs) can be done in this and largecap category. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼An important takeaway from the recent market trend is that a quick and sharp recovery is not in sight. 💼The momentum that drove the market to its record peak of 26216 in September is gone. 💼There can be recoveries which are unlikely to sustain given the selling mode of the FIIs and the concerns surrounding the weak earnings growth feared in FY25. 💼At best the market may consolidate around the present levels with sideways movements. 💼Sustained up move will emerge only when incoming data indicates earnings recovery. 💼A significant trend is the sustained weakness emerging in large number of mid and smallcaps. 💼Hundreds of such stocks, which had run ahead of fundamentals, and driven by momentum are reverting to mean. 💼Investors need not rush in to grab these stocks which have more downside potential. 💼In contrast quality largecaps are resilient and investors can stick to them. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼Even though Nifty has corrected 10.4% from the peak there are no signs of a sustained recovery in the market. 💼Relentless FII selling, earnings downgrades for majority of stocks for FY25, and the consequences of the Trump trade are weighing on the market. 💼Sentiments have turned negative and, therefore, investors should exercise caution at this stage and wait for clarity on the direction of the market. 💼With the dollar index strong at 106.6 and the 10-year US bond yield at 4.44% there is no room for a quick reversal of FII flows. 💼Investors can focus on areas of strength like digital companies and high quality banking stocks. 💼Largecaps like RIL and Eicher are showing resilience. . . . #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets
