What Do Experts Say?

Market sentiment has improved following reports that an India-US trade deal may soon be finalised and exit polls predicting a decisive victory for the NDA in Bihar. According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Ltd, these developments are likely to strengthen bullish sentiment, though they may not be sufficient to trigger a decisive breakout or sustained rally in the markets.

Vijayakumar observed that, based on current trends, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) are expected to sell again at higher market levels. He added that as long as the AI-driven trade trend continues, a sustained reversal of FII outflows appears unlikely.

From a fundamental standpoint, Vijayakumar said there is still room for optimism, supported by robust GDP growth and bright earnings prospects for FY27.

He further highlighted that financials, consumption, and defence stocks have the potential to drive the next phase of the market rally.
