Market Pulse: Analysts Weigh In
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, noted that domestic equities exhibited resilience, with broader markets outperforming large caps amid positive Asian cues. He added that softer US inflation data supported sentiment, while the Fed maintained its focus on price stability without turning more hawkish.
“Q1FY27 earnings remained the key domestic catalyst, though higher crude prices due to West Asia tensions capped gains and triggered profit booking. PSU banks gained on strong business updates, while textile and industrial stocks advanced as the India-UK trade deal went live. In contrast, metal stocks declined due to weak China GDP data and margin concerns from flat metal prices and rising crude costs. The IT sector also underperformed following weak preliminary results and commentary from IBM,” he further said.
