Below the Quote onweekly market outlook from Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services
"The Budget 2024-25 has not sparked any significant excitement in the market, while it was both populist and prudent. The increase in short- and long-term capital gains taxes added to the volatility on budget day. Many of the measures are a reiteration of the interim budget, and the broader market appears to be losing momentum due to a lack of new impetus. Although the government's emphasis on fiscal discipline and growth is appealing, FIIs are cautious due to current high valuations and muted expectations for Q1FY25 results. Meanwhile, DIIs continue to employ a "buy on dips" strategy, which contributed to market gains on the week's last trading day, particularly in the pharma, auto, metal, IT, and FMCG sectors.
The market has now recovered its losses from budget day, driven by positive US GDP data and expectations of improved global demand. Moving forward, the direction of the domestic market will likely be influenced by the progress of the earnings season. Additionally, global economic updates, including US Fed & BoE monetary policies, US employment data, and Eurozone GDP figures, are expected to impact market trends."
