Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Modest earnings growth in Q3 FY25, coupled with sustained selling by FIIs, is limiting the potential for a near-term market rebound. A weakening rupee and a widening trade deficit are likely to heighten investor caution. Despite a nosedive correction in broader indices, valuations remain unappealing. However, any easing of US trade uncertainties and initial signs of a recovery in discretionary spending could help support a market rebound.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: FIIs may not return to India soon; China remains a better bet: Analysts

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The past five months have been particularly challenging for Indian stock market investors. The correction, which began in October 2024, has led to the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex losing 13 per cent and 12.5 per cent from their respective peaks.

According to analysts, a significant portion of this correction can be attributed to foreign investors pulling out of Indian equities. Notably, the FIIs' withdrawal from Indian markets coincided with the Chinese government's announcement of various stimulus measures to revive its faltering economic growth. 
 

"The valuation in China (Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 index's valuation trades at 16x against the 5-year/10-year average at 15.3x/15.2x respectively) remains very attractive from a medium to short-term perspective. Some hedge funds and high-risk money have been flowing into China," said Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities. In comparison, the India Nifty trades at 21.4x against its historical average of 5-year/10-year at 23.9x/22.8x respectively. READ MORE
