Exclusive: Gautam Shah On Winning Strategies For 2025, Top Sectors To Skip And Sectors To Bet On

2024: A Rollercoaster Year for Markets | What Lies Ahead in 2025? The stock market in 2024 was a tale of two halves—an impressive rally in the first half, but the second half brought challenges and erased H1 gains. Nifty and Sensex delivered 11% returns in this year so far. India's GDP growth slumped to 5.4% in Q2, marking a seven-quarter low. Multiple factors contributed to the downturn, including significant Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows of over ₹1.64 lakh crore between October and December, China's robust economic recovery diverting global capital, and geopolitical tensions such as the Israel-Iran war and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Adding to the pressure, the Indian rupee hit record lows against the dollar. Despite these setbacks, Indian retail investors showed resilience, with mutual fund SIP inflows crossing ₹25,000 crore for two consecutive months, indicating a shift towards disciplined, long-term investing. As we move into 2025, the big questions arise: What factors will steer the market in the new year? Where should investors focus their attention?
