Market view: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services
Domestic market failed to hold on to recovery mode as it was awaiting the release of Q4 GDP data. GDP is expected to register a slower growth rate of 4.0-4.2 per cent as the consumer spending and investments were hit by soaring inflation. A hike in oil prices due to the EU’s ban on Russian oil imports would act as a headwind in taming global inflation. Changes in policy by central banks would be a major factor to be monitored in the coming days.
