Global and domestic factors are favourable for market

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, "There are two significant factors driving the ongoing rally in the market. One, FIIs who have made a ‘u’ turn in their strategy have turned big buyers having invested around Rs 20,000 crore, including bulk purchase, in the last 2 weeks. Second, the rally is being driven by segments like banking and IT which were under performers for quite some time. An important point from recent market experience is that in the tug of war between FIIs and DIIs, the latter have been trumping the former consistently by buying from them when they sell and selling to them the very same stocks which they sold, at much higher prices. Global and domestic factors, except valuations, are favourable for the market."
