In this episode of Market Guru, Shailendra Bhatnagar takes a deep dive into the current market volatility and explores the major factors influencing the Indian stock market. After a strong rally last week, the markets are experiencing a tug-of-war between the bulls and bears. Nifty and Sensex have been fluctuating between green and red territories this week as global factors, such as Donald Trump's new tariffs, are impacting global markets, including the US, where stocks are now 10% off their peaks. Countries like China and Canada are retaliating with fresh tariffs, adding to the pressure.
Despite the global sell-off, Indian markets have managed to hold their ground. However, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have continued their selling spree in March, offloading ₹18,810 crore worth of equities by March 12th, following major outflows in January and February. This raises the important question: What’s really affecting the Indian market right now? Is it Trump's trade policies, FIIs’ continued selling, the overvaluation of Indian stocks, disappointing earnings from companies, or something else?
As the market shows signs of recovery, should investors confidently begin to invest again? Are equities the best place to park your money, or would alternative assets like Mutual Funds, Gold, Silver, Commodities, or even Currency be better choices in this volatile environment?
In this insightful conversation, Shailendra Bhatnagar is joined by Dhiraj Agarwal, MD of Ambit Investment Managers, to discuss these pressing questions and provide expert guidance on navigating the current market uncertainty.
