Bears have finally broken the wall of mighty 22,800, and ended 5 points below at 22,795, while the Nifty Auto index ended 570 points lower, IT index has dropped 300 points and the Nifty Bank is down 350 points. This increases the chances of fifth consecutive month of losses for Nifty, something that last occurred in 1996. As we enter the final week of F&O expiry, market sentiment remains weak, primarily due to relentless FII selling and global uncertainties. Gaurav Dua, Head of Capital Market Strategy at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, shares his insights on what’s driving the downturn and whether markets can find support in the coming weeks. He highlights the impact of the dollar index, which has softened from 109 to 105, and whether this could slow down FII outflows. While large-cap price corrections may be nearing an end, the outlook for small and micro-cap stocks in 2025 could be challenging, much like 2018-19. Will investors find opportunities amid this correction, or should they brace for more volatility? Is this a time to buy on dips or stay cautious?
