Indian Markets at a Crossroads: Buy the Dip or Brace for More Volatility?
Indian markets have been navigating turbulent waters over the past five months, with the Nifty posting a 6% decline this year alone and a 10% drop over the last six months, mirroring the Sensex's performance. After a relentless 10-day losing streak, the bulls finally made a comeback—Nifty ended 1% higher on March 6, 2025, and Sensex surged 700 points, offering a glimmer of hope to investors. However, as of today, March 7, 2025, the markets remain tentative, with the Nifty hovering flat with a positive bias.
The big question now—Is this the right time to buy into the pain, or should investors wait for further corrections? Should one adopt a sector-specific approach or focus on stock selection to navigate this uncertain phase? Which top funds should investors keep an eye on? Adding to market jitters, Donald Trump’s latest tariff measures targeting China, Mexico, and Canada have sent shockwaves across global markets. His reciprocal tax policy has also fuelled anxiety in Indian markets, raising concerns over its potential impact on trade, exports, and economic growth. With these escalating geopolitical tensions, how should Indian investors position themselves?
