Commenting on domestic market, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said that the rebound is backed by fundamentally strong large banking stocks. He however, cautioned that the weak or underestimate Q@ earnings of domestic companies might hinder the rally.
“The sharp rebound in the market yesterday indicates a halt to the downward trend witnessed during the last many days. The fact that the rebound is being led by fairly valued and fundamentally strong large banking stocks is important and points to the possibility of the continuation of the trend,” Vijayakumar said.
“However, the poor earnings growth in Q2 and earnings downgrades for FY25 are headwinds that will constrain a sustained rally,” he added. The market analyst further said that the buzz related to the US Presidential election will be seen only for a few days, after which economic fundamentals will determine the direction of the market trend.
