Best Stocks To Buy Today: Cipla, Voltas Among Top 5 Picks For January 1, 2025

Best Stocks To Buy: VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, pointed out that domestic equities may face near-term weakness due to subdued GDP and earnings growth

Best Stocks To Buy Today: Indian equity benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, opened in the green on Wednesday, marking the first trading day of the New Year 2025. The BSE Sensex gained 100 points, while the Nifty50 held above the 23,600 mark at the time of market opening.

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, pointed out that domestic equities may face near-term weakness due to subdued GDP and earnings growth. The strong dollar (with the Dollar Index at 108.5 per cent) and rising US bond yields could prompt continued selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in early 2025, despite the counterbalancing support from domestic institutional investors (DIIs). Furthermore, high valuations and sluggish growth are likely to dampen market sentiment.
