Market View: Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

One of the highlights of the recent market trend is India’s outperformance among major markets. While the US, Europe and most major emerging markets have weakened, the Indian market has shown surprising resilience. Since Fed Chief Powell’s ultra-hawkish message last Friday, the S&P 500 is down 5.8% while the Nifty is up 0.9%. A major factor in this outperformance is the return of FIIs to the Indian market. It is important to appreciate that the FII investment of Rs 4165 cr on Tuesday in the spot market is the highest buy figure in 2022. This gives momentum to the market.

However, investors should exercise caution as valuations are high and the global growth environment is not conducive to a sustainable bull market. Even while staying invested, a profit reservation can be a good idea.
