Is stock market heading towards year-end rally?
Commenting on the positive momentum in the Indian stock market, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said that market seems to be heading towards a year-end rally as Rupee strengthens and FII infuse money in the domestic market to buy equities.
“It appears that the market is heading for a year end rally. Two factors that can accelerate this rally are the sharp reversal in the rupee and the FIIs turning buyers in the cash market. These two factors which are mutually reinforcing can trigger short covering in the market helping the benchmark indices to scale higher highs,” VK Vijayakumar told PTI.
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said that the foreign investors resorting to buy equities in the domestic market is a positive sign and its effect is showing in the market.
“While sustained DII participation continues to effectively absorb intermittent bouts of selling pressure, FIIs turning net buyers after a prolonged phase of outflows has provided an additional boost to market confidence,” Ponmudi R was quoted by the news agency as saying.
