Below is quote on Morning market 20 January 2022 By Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services

"There is a distinct bearish trend in the mother market of the US. Nasdaq is 10.7% down from its 2021 November highs and Russel 2000 is at 52 week lows. This need not translate into a similar trend in India too. But investors have to be cautious since rising global inflation and the expected monetary tightening will be major headwinds for markets at least in the first half of 2022. The situation might change in the second half if supply disruptions ease and inflation comes down.

Meanwhile investors may stick to the safety of high quality large-caps in performing sectors like IT, financials and construction. Many low-grade small-caps driven by speculation are heading for disaster"
