Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Tailwinds for the market are getting stronger with each passing day. Growth prospects for the economy are getting better than earlier optimistic estimates. A significant macro development is the turnaround in private capex, which has been sluggish for years. The H1 FY 26 numbers of a sample of listed companies compiled by BS show a 13.1 per cent Y-o-Y increase in fixed assets. This is a clear indication of acceleration in private capex and this data is complemented by the recent up tick in bank credit.

 

In brief, these macro developments can lead to GDP growth of above 7 per cent and with inflation rising to expected 4 per cent in FY27, this can translate into nominal GDP growth of around 10.5 per cent and corporate earnings growth of above 16 per cent. The market will start discounting these positive developments, particularly since the US-India trade deal is no longer a constraint for the market. Financials have the potential to outperform in the rally while IT might continue to disappoint weighed down by the Anthropic shock. The outperformance of the broader market, particularly the recovery of the smallcaps will add to the enthusiasm of the retail investors enabling the market to remain resilient.
