Stock Market LIVE Today | RBI's GDP, inflation projections good news for Dalal Street, says Geojit's VK Vijayakumar
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, believes the RBI's February 8 projects on consumer inflation and GDP are encouraging and good news for the equity market. "If these projections materialise, India Inc’s earnings for 2023-24 will not be impacted and the Nifty EPS of around Rs 1,100 would be achievable. This means the Nifty is now trading at below 18 times its estimated 2023-24 earnings, which is good enough to attract investment," he says.
"However, unabated selling by FIIs will act as a major restraint on any potential breakout rally. For a sustained rally in the market, the FII strategy has to change. Indications from the Fed that rates are likely to remain 'higher for longer' are negative for the equity market. This view will change if the disinflationary process underway gathers momentum," he adds.
Tata Motors (up 6%), ITC (up 2%) rise most among eight Sensex gainers
On the other hand, SBI, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank are the top laggards.
