Analysts attributed the continued market exuberance to the latest victories of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in three states, contributing to constructive sentiment. Additionally, components akin to secure crude oil costs, anticipation of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sustaining rates of interest within the upcoming Friday assembly, and heightened participation from international portfolio traders (FPIs) in December performed pivotal roles.
FPIs exhibited strong engagement, making web investments of almost Rs 26,759 crore this month, almost thrice the Rs 9,000 crore invested within the earlier month. However, consultants anticipate a moderation in FPI participation within the coming days as a result of onset of the Christmas holidays.
While the continued market rally has notably benefited small and midcap shares, analysts predict a shift in focus in the direction of their large-cap counterparts. The optimism out there continues to be underpinned by a confluence of things, showcasing the resilience and upward trajectory of the Indian fairness markets.
