Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “Market is likely to consolidate this week in the absence of any known triggers for sharp up or down moves. Since the week is a truncated week of three trading days, volumes have dipped markedly indicating absence of significant directional move. The Fed’s optimistic message has imparted resilience to the mother market US and this will impart confidence in markets, globally.”
The strong growth momentum in the Indian economy will provide the fundamental support to the market. The recent trend of outperformance of the largecaps over the broader market, particularly the smallcaps, is likely to continue. Some froth in the broader market has been removed, but smallcap valuations continue to be high.
While the market consolidates around the current levels, dips can be used to buy high quality largecaps.”
