тАЬAs our PM said, this is IndiaтАЩs Amritkal, so medium- to long-term opportunities in the Indian stock market will be fabulous. Any correction due to global factors will be a good buying opportunity in sectors like auto, banking, PSUs, IT, etc.,тАЭ said Parth Nyati, Founder at Tradingo.
“Optimism regarding IndiaтАЩs growth prospects in a low-growth world and a fast decelerating China has triggered this rally enabling the Nifty to cross the psychological 20000 mark,тАЭ said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
тАЬIn the near-term, the market is likely to consolidate around the present levels.”
