Stock Market Outlook: Amid all the global positivity, US data points are very strong, Europe and Japan are there too and this has led Indian stock markets to overshoot slightly and there would be no surprise if a correction of 5-10 per cent comes, Rahul Arora, CEO at Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities said in a chat with Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi. The market is ahead of where it should be now, Arora said and added that investors have to be very careful. The positive US data points include jobless claims, housing data and sentiment indicators all of which are looking much better now.
Data points emerging here in India now look okay, though they could be better, Arora said. India’s forex reserves are healthy and crude prices have become benign. The expert opinions suggest that normalcy has come back by 50-70 per cent, he added.
