Expect high volatility in the near term

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, “Global cues are better since the mother market US is appreciating the favourable trends in the US economy after the brief disappointment with the cautious Fed message. It is evident that the US is heading for a soft landing and rate cuts are coming. The near-term risk in the market is high valuation, which can trigger corrections on some negative news. Expect high volatility in the near term."
