Future direction of the market… Friends, Sensex, Nifty based could see a further decline as global recession starts to pick up again and with caution in global markets due to weak employment growth data in US, foreign funds in Indian stock markets become a net sell. Looking at the global markets and looking at the development of a possible cease-fire between Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Hamas, the Nifty and Sensex may see a crash in the coming days. Despite the positive factors of a successful monsoon and the government continuing to launch mega projects in the infrastructure sector and moving ahead with the policy to boost economic growth, funds and maharathis are seen easing bullish trades due to the need to break the long record bullish streak. Experts differ on valuations. Amidst sentiments now that the valuations are not right for new investments, given the extraordinary rise in stock prices, a section of funds and large investors have started booking profits with a view to unwinding 25 to 40% of investments in the last fortnight. Along with this, it is seen that investment has started diverting into stocks which are considered safe by offloading into stocks which do not have fundamentals but which have increased extraordinarily. So now it is very important to stay away from investing in those stocks at any cost. The author is a SEBI registered research analyst and proprietor of Investment Point.
