Analysts observed that the market conditions lean more towards risk rather than optimism, with ongoing challenges from weak earnings and slower economic growth in the country. Nevertheless, the upcoming Union Budget 2025 set for February 1st and potential monetary policy easing may offer some support.
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, emphasized that given the impending uncertainty surrounding President Trump’s potential decisions, a market rally seems improbable in the short term. The persistent selling by foreign institutional investors, which reached ₹7,170 crores yesterday, shows no signs of abating. This trend will continue to apply pressure on the market.
