Navigating Market Trends: Parkavi Learner’s Expert Analysis
The Rebound
Tamilini: Parkavi, the Indian markets finally showed some strength this week! I saw that the frontline indices along with broader markets ended on a strong note. What was the reason for this rebound despite weak global cues?
Parkavi: That’s right, Tamilini! Despite global uncertainties, our market witnessed a much-awaited rebound. The recovery came even as concerns over rising tariff wars, supply chain disruptions, and growth worries in the US impacted global equities.
Tamilini: Oh! I heard that US equities, the dollar index, and US treasury yields dropped sharply. How did that impact India?
Parkavi: Exactly! The decline in the dollar index to 104 and the US 10-year treasury yield to 4.2% worked in favor of emerging markets like India. Additionally, Brent crude prices fell below $70 per barrel due to OPEC+ increasing production and US growth concerns. This was a big positive for our markets.
Tamilini: That’s interesting! What about Europe? I read that the ECB cut rates again!
Parkavi: Yes! The European Central Bank reduced rates by 25 basis points to 2.5%—their sixth cut since June 2024. Also, Germany’s massive €500 billion investment in defense and infrastructure boosted investor sentiment across Europe.
The Biggest Outperformer
Tamilini: Parkavi, did you notice the Metal index? It's the biggest outperformer this week, thanks to the decline in the dollar index and China's decision to cut steel production.
Parkavi: Absolutely, Nisha. The global cues have had a significant impact, but our market's fundamentals remain strong. The ECB's policy rate cut and Germany's decision to invest in defense and infrastructure have boosted investor sentiment in Europe as well.
The Week Ahead
Tamilini: What can we expect next week? With the holiday on Friday due to Holi, will the market remain stable?
Parkavi: Next week will be a short one, but global cues and inflation data from the US and India will be closely watched. The non-farm payroll data from the US and developments on the tariff front will also play a crucial role. We should remain cautiously optimistic.
Technical Insights
Tamilini: Technically, the index is likely to continue its pullback rally in the next couple of trading sessions. The zone of 22,670-22,700 will act as an immediate hurdle. If we sustain above 22,700, we could see the index climb to 23,000 and beyond.
Parkavi: Exactly. On the downside, the zone of 22,300-22,250 will provide support in case of any immediate decline. Large-cap quality stocks are preferable over small-cap stocks right now.
