Below the Quote on Morning Market Views 21st October 2026 from Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited

"With Brent crude prices and US bond yields remaining elevated, the market is likely to remain under pressure. The sell on rally market construct will continue in the near-term. However, the improving earnings growth, fair valuations of large-caps, and strong domestic liquidity will support the market on declines. Since the two large laggard sectors - IT and banking- have performed well in Q2 and are attractively valued, further corrections in these sectors will be met with strong DII-led accumulation. 

Since the Q2 results season has started on a positive note and some positive surprises are likely in the broader market, the market action, going forward,  will be more stock-specific and results-sensitive. Despite the external headwinds, this is a stock picker’s market now."
