“Catch Your Breath: NIFTY Takes A Dive After Seven Weeks Of Gains – Here’s What You Need To Know

The Indian equity market, gauged by the Nifty 50 Index, has rallied fairly high over the past seven weeks, finally taking a breather last week. This week we can expect more of the same, with markets ebbing and flowing, and investors gauging how good the recovery will be. The Nifty 50 opened last week on a strong note, as gains from the previous week continued, but could not sustain the rally and ended the week lower. This was anticipated as the benchmark was up by over 14 percent in the seven-week rally. Investors looked to book profits, which thus resulted in some erosion of gains. Nevertheless, the Nifty 50 appears to be in an uptrend, which is expected to continue as the Indian economy shows signs of recovery. The country has seen a sharp decline in confirmed coronavirus cases, along with positive developments related to the COVID-19 vaccine. These promising signs have been propping up investor sentiment, which is likely to remain in place in the short-term. The Nifty 50 is expected to rebound this week, but such optimism should be taken with a grain of salt. The week ahead will be a crucial test for the rally, as investors will keep an eye out for COVID-19 news and any possible policy measures that might drive the markets. Meanwhile, investors could look to select stocks from the sectors that are expected to benefit from the economic recovery. Analysts expect banking and financial services stocks, as well as technology and infrastructure stocks, to continue to remain in focus. Furthermore, companies with exposure to rural India should also continue to be attractive to investors in the coming weeks. In conclusion, the Nifty 50 is likely to continue its uptrend this week, with investors closely monitoring the pace of the economic recovery. That said, investors should exercise caution and remain vigilant as choppy waters could lead to swift erosions of recent gains.
