Market ahead
Experts in conversation with ANI pointed out that following a year defined by significant volatility and modest single-digit returns, the markets are poised to exit the consolidation phase and enter a period of gradual yet sustained growth.
Banking and market specialist Ajay Bagga noted that the timeframe from the previous Diwali (Samvat 2081) to the upcoming one was fraught with turbulence due to external challenges like geopolitical tensions, tariff unpredictability, and substantial Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows, totaling nearly USD 15 billion year-to-date, along with inflated market valuations. Nevertheless, Bagga stated that the outlook for Samvat 2082 appears more promising.
The forthcoming Samvat year is expected to exhibit a stronger and more stable performance compared to the last, with a gradual but consistent upward trend, primarily propelled by domestic fundamentals. We anticipate the Nifty to reach 30,000 by the next Diwali, while the BSE Sensex is projected to aim for levels around 95,000, he added.
