Share Market Today LIVE | Goldilocks scenario for economy, market as New Year begins, says Geojit's VK Vijayakumar
VK Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial Services believes it is a Goldilocks scenario for the economy and the market with the onset of 2024. "Growth momentum in the economy is strong... The banking system is in the pink of health and all macroeconomic indicators are stable. Political stability after the general elections looks almost certain," he says.
"From a global perspective, the US economy appears to be headed for a soft landing. The US 10-year bond yield at 3.87 per cent and the dollar index at 100.6 are tailwinds for the market. FPI inflows in 2024 are likely to be robust. The concern, however, is that most of this good news is in the price; but valuations are a bit stretched and above the long-term averages. So, the market is vulnerable to corrections from presently unknown risks. The broader market is overvalued; safety is in large-caps," he adds.
