The Indian share market is expected to react positively to the global bullish trend, but there are key influencing factors to watch:
- Foreign Portfolio Investments (FPI): Renewed foreign interest in Indian equities has been a strong driver of recent gains. If global markets remain optimistic, FPIs could continue flowing into Indian stocks.
- US Federal Reserve Policy: Investors are closely watching the upcoming Fed meeting. Any indication of rate cuts or a dovish stance could further boost Indian equities.
- Geopolitical Tensions: The India-Pakistan conflict has introduced some volatility. Historically, Indian markets have shown resilience, but short-term fluctuations are possible.
- Oil Prices: A potential decline in oil prices following OPEC announcements could benefit India’s economy and provide the RBI with greater flexibility.
- Sectoral Impact: Technology stocks are expected to perform well, driven by global AI investments. Meanwhile, tourism and hospitality stocks may face pressure due to geopolitical concerns.
