Samvat 2079 Outlook: Sunil Damania, Chief Investment Officer, MarketsMojo
Capital goods, pharma and cement, will outperform, while public and private banks, NBFCs and the auto sector may wind up laggards.
We also expect mid and small caps to outperform large caps. If you look at the data from the last Samvat to the current one, there is hardly any difference between the performance of large, mid and small caps. On the contrary, small caps have performed better than large caps. Therefore, the performance of the Indian equity market going forward would be driven more by small and mid-caps. We are bullish about mid and small caps, given the yearly rise of retail investors. By the next Samvat, we expect the market to perform exceptionally well.

Ahead of earnings… look at how these Nifty50 stocks are faring

The recent 3 percent rally has taken the Nifty to just 6 percent below its 52-week high. This rally in a difficult global equity environment has surprised many, including the FIIs, who have slowed down their selling. Sustained flows into mutual funds, particularly via the SIP route, is a major factor imparting strength to the market even in the context of negative global economic news. So long as DIIs are flush with funds markets are unlikely to correct sharply. Fundamental support to the market is coming from the good Q2 numbers particularly from financials. This week is a results heavy week and most results from Nifty constituents are likely to be good.The rising US bond yields and rising dollar are hitting all other currencies hard. This will continue to be a potential headwind for equity markets till US inflation starts showing a moderating trend.
