What do experts say?
Last week, the BSE benchmark Sensex jumped 4,230.7 points or 5.77 per cent, and the National Stock Exchange’s flagship index Nifty rose 1,337.5 points or 5.88 per cent. Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Limited, said that the market mood remained good due to expectations regarding a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran, however, as the week progressed, the pace of growth slowed down a bit due to the persistence of geopolitical uncertainties. He further said that the sharp fall in crude oil prices below $100 per barrel eased domestic concerns and fueled a strong recovery across the market. However, even this week, Reliance Industries remained the most valued domestic company, followed by HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, Bharti State Bank, ICICI Bank, TCS, Bajaj Finance, L&T, Infosys and HUL.
