💼 When aggressive market activity happens against the near consensus view, the market movement can be sharp. 💼 Yesterday’s 550 point spike in Nifty from the lows was a classic case of such unexpected contrarian trend. 💼 The near consensus view was that FIIs will slowdown purchases in India and might even turn sellers preferring the cheaper Chinese stocks in view of the emerging US-China trade deal. This explains the sharp rise in cash holdings of the mutual funds and DIIs turning sellers. But the FII’s aggressive contrarian move against the prevailing consensus by buying stocks for Rs 5393 crores surprised the majority of market participants. 💼 The consequent short covering in largecaps must have contributed to the sharp 550 point Nifty rally from the lows yesterday. 💼 The momentum now clearly favours largecaps. If the FIIs continue with their buy India strategy the market can further surprise on the upside. But the valuations will get stretched eroding the fundamental support to the market. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 The market appears to be heading for a near-term consolidation phase with the mid and smallcaps outperforming. 💼 The sustained robust FII buying which lifted the largecaps is likely to weaken in the new context of trade deal emerging between US and China. 💼 The possibility of a ‘Sell India; Buy China’ tactical FII trade cannot be ruled out now. This will weigh on largecaps and strengthen the case for further rally in mid and smallcaps, despite the valuation concerns. 💼 The defence stocks are again witnessing renewed buying after the prime minister’s appreciation of the performance of made in India defence weapons. 💼 The medium to long-term prospects of defence companies, particularly those of exporters, look bright. However, the valuations of these stocks are high and, therefore, investors have to be cautious. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 Global markets are in a state of flux moving up and down in response to continuously changing policy scenarios. 💼 Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy which caused tremors in markets is now done and dusted with a deal emerging between US and China. It appears that the trend of weakening dollar is over. 💼 The US 10-year yield has spiked to 4.47% and this might impact the FII fund flows to India which has been keeping the Indian market resilient. 💼 There is also a risk of hot money again moving to cheaper Chinese stocks in the new environment of improving US-China relationship. However, a strong tailwind for the Indian market is the sharp dip in April CPI inflation to 3.16%. This leaves enough room for the MPC to cut rates thrice more in this cutting cycle. This is positive for the market in general and rate sensitives in particular. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 After the sharp surge in the market yesterday, mainly in response to the ceasefire, it is time to take stock and try to understand the likely direction of the market, going forward. It is important to understand that the sharp 916 point surge in Nifty was not caused by institutional activity. 💼 The combined FII and DII buying yesterday was only Rs 2694 crores. This means the market surge was triggered by short-covering and HNI plus retail buying. This implies that institutional activity is likely to remain subdued in the coming days which may constrain the continuation of the rally. 💼 The agreement between US and China to reduce tariffs for 90 days signals the possibility of the end of the trade war between US and China. This augurs well for the global economy. Since the probability of a recession in the US has come down, Indian IT companies might benefit from the higher tech spending by US companies. 💼 Indian pharma exporters will face pricing pressure in the US from Trump’s executive order reducing drug prices. This will impact their stock prices. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 The ceasefire between India and Pakistan has paved the way for a sharp rally in the market. 💼 The prime mover of the rally will be the FII buying which has been sustained for sixteen continuous days except last Friday when the conflict escalated. 💼 Domestic macros like expectations of high GDP growth and revival of earnings growth in FY26 and declining inflation and interest rates augur well for the resumption of a rally in the market. 💼 FII favourite largecaps like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finance, RIL, L&T, Bharti, Ultratech, M&M and Eicher are likely to lead the rally. 💼 Midcap IT and digital stocks are other segments to watch. 💼 Pharma stocks may come under near-term pressure from President Trump’s latest announcement regarding reducing prices of drugs in the US. 💼 There are rumours of impending US deal with China on trade but details are yet to come. 💼 If a deal materialises that would be good for the global economy. But from an Indian perspective that would be slightly disappointing since we were expecting a trade deal with the US ahead of many nations including China . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 Under normal circumstances, on a day like this, the market would have suffered deep cuts. But this is unlikely due to two reasons. 💼 One, the conflict, so far, has demonstrated India’s clear superiority in conventional warfare, and, therefore, further escalation of the conflict will inflict huge damage to Pakistan. Two, the market is inherently resilient supported by global and domestic macros. 💼 Weak dollar and potentially weakening US and Chinese economies are good for the Indian market. 💼 The domestic macros construct is further rendered stronger by the high GDP growth expected this year and the declining interest rate environment. These are the reasons why FIIs have been on a buying spree in the Indian market during the last sixteen trading sessions. 💼 Investors should not panic and exit from the market now. 💼 Remain invested, monitor the developments and wait for the dust to settle. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 Uncertainty regarding the extent of an expected face-saving response from Pakistan to India’s Operation Sindoor will weigh on markets. 💼 From the market perspective, it is important that the conflict should not escalate. 💼 An escalation, apart from other fallouts, will also impact India’s fiscal consolidation drive. If the MPC is to continue with rate cuts, fiscal consolidation is important. 💼 The Fed chief Jerome Powell’s observation yesterday that “risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen” and that “we think we can be patient” is a clear message that the Fed chief will not accommodate President Trump’s demand for rate cuts. 💼 The Fed’s action will be data dependent. 💼 A US-UK trade deal appears likely today, and this can be seen as the beginning of trade deals between US and other countries. 💼 In the current context of uncertainty investors may wait and watch the developments on the India-Pak tensions. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 What stands out in “Operation Sindoor” from the market perspective is its focused and non-escalatory nature. 💼 We have to wait and watch how the enemy reacts to these precision strikes by India. 💼 The market is unlikely to be impacted by the retaliatory strike by India since that was known and discounted by the market. 💼 The main catalyst of the market resilience in India is the sustained FII buying of the last 14 trading days which has touched a cumulative figure of Rs 43940 crores in the cash market. 💼 FIIs are focused on the global macros like weak dollar, slower growth in US and China in 2025 and India’s potential outperformance in growth. This can keep the market resilient. However, investors have to watch the developments on the border. 💼 The big shift in market preference in favour of largecaps away from overvalued segments of mid and smallcaps is significant. 💼 FIIs, as always, are mainly buying largecaps. This trend can continue. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets

💼 Sustained FII buying for the 13th day in a row, supported by a weak dollar, has imparted resilience and support to the market despite the India-Pak tensions. This resilience is further reinforced by tailwinds in the form of soft crude, declining inflation, and the RBI’s cheap money policy of rate cuts and abundant liquidity injection. 💼 These tailwinds have the potential to facilitate high GDP growth and improving corporate earnings in FY26. And the market is likely to discount this by moving to new highs. But the uncertainty regarding the India-Pak tensions will keep the market range-bound in the near term. 💼 Large cap IT has bottomed out. 💼 Large cap private sector banking stocks will remain resilient despite the recent run-up. . . . #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets #StockMarket #Inflation #GeojitOutlook #MarketUpdate #InvestmentOpportunity #EmergingMarkets
