Despite facing persistent challenges like elevated interest rates, geopolitical tensions, fluctuating crude oil prices, and ongoing inflation, the Nifty 50, India's primary equity benchmark, is on track to conclude the year with robust gains. Analysts suggest that, amidst all-time high market conditions, investors should closely monitor factors such as global and domestic indicators, US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation rates, upcoming general and state elections, forthcoming quarterly earnings reports, and the Interim Budget for 2024 in the coming weeks.
In 2023, the Indian stock market started the year on a subdued note and experienced a downtrend in the first quarter. However, it witnessed a significant upturn from April onward. The Nifty 50, a leading index, surged to new highs, delivering year-to-date returns exceeding 18 percent. Additionally, mid and small-cap segments outperformed, yielding returns of 40 percent and 50 percent, respectively.
Nifty Midcap 150 represents the next 150 companies (companies ranked 101-250) based on full market capitalisation from Nifty 500. This index intends to measure the performance of mid market capitalisation companies.
