Market Outlook Today From Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
Nifty has delivered 10.4% returns in the first half of 2024 on top of the 20% returns in 2023. These are impressive returns. An important feature of this bull market which began after the COVID crash of March 2020 (Nifty at 7511) is that it has been devoid of any significant correction. The only above 5% correction in the Nifty was on June 4th, in response to the election results. But this was followed the very next day by a sharp recovery. This one-way move in the market can be attributed to the successful ‘buy on dips’ strategy being followed by the domestic investors - both institutional and retail. There is sustained flow of money into the market through mutual funds, particularly through SIPs. So long as this market construct holds steady, the market will remain resilient. It is worth repeating that some stocks in the broader market have bubble valuations and, therefore, they are vulnerable to sharp correction.
The up move in the U.S.10-year bond yield to 4.45% will invite selling by FIIs. But the domestic investors will be more than happy to absorb this.
