Indian stock markets see a paradigm shift over 25-30 years; Anil Singhvi explains why markets have faith on strength of retail investors

What has changed over the last 20-25 years in the Indian equity markets? Why is Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi of the view that this is the new India? Does the retail investors lend greater strength to the domestic markets. This is what Market Guru has to say about the markets!

Singhvi said that his experience on the ground through meetings with investors gives a different picture about India and which is that the India of today has completely changed over the last 25-30 years.

He said that the retail investors over 30-40 years have been coming to the stock markets, but young investors of 20-25 years have also started investing. They may not have the same maturity but will learn over time.

Even the home makers and women investors have been showing great interest, the Managing Editor said adding that they are keen in watching Zee Business coverage on markets between 2 and 3:30 pm.

This is a big change and will likely last long. He said that the change could be gradual as you start investing as you see money being made here.

He said that after low of March 2020 and even before that, the investors had the opportunity to exit at the price at which they had entered the market.

A new investor may get tired if the opportunity for exit stretches but if he gets the right exit points every now and then, then the entry may not have a big adverse impact, he said.

This is the change which the Indian markets have been witnessing.

On Global markets, Singhvi said that it is not possible to see a rise or fall on the daily basis. The US investors are in a wait and watch situation as there is not enough strength for rise while there is not much space left for fall. The situation is likely to continue till 21 September when the US Federal Reserve policy meeting is scheduled.
