VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, “There are three favourable factors which can assist the ongoing rally in the market.
One, official sources from the White House indicate that the US is close to a trade deal with India.
Two, the fading AI trade will benefit India.
Three, the fundamentals are improving as reflected in resilience in growth and rising earnings.
These three factors favour the continuation of the ongoing mild rally in India.”“FIIs turning buyers also is a positive; but it is too early to say that this is a trend.
