Foreign and domestic institutional investor flows into Indian markets have been subdued in recent months, reflecting the overall cautious sentiment among investors.
Nifty losing streak extends further
Derivative market positioning also suggests further risks ahead for Indian equities.
The ongoing global trade conflict has played a significant role in the market downturn, heightening concerns among investors worldwide. The uncertainty surrounding trade policies is expected to continue influencing market performance in the near term. Despite the gloomy outlook for the Indian market, Samuel offered a more optimistic view of the US market.
He anticipates that the bull market in the US will remain intact and predicts a turnaround from the previous week’s fall on Wall Street. As the Nifty continues its longest losing run on record, investors and analysts are closely monitoring the situation. The coming weeks and months will be crucial in determining the extent of the market’s decline and the potential for recovery.
