The correction which started with a large cap segment and that too in the private banking space, was felt in the mid-cap space.

The Union Budget tends to cause volatility in equity markets. Over the past 5-6 years, caution and apprehension have prevailed among investors in the week leading up to the budget presentation. The Sensex has experienced negative and flat returns during this period. However, the performance post the budget announcement has generally been better. In election-bound years like 2024, the budget is likely to focus on fiscal roadmap, capital investment-led expansion, rural growth, and populist measure...

Because the metal stocks are highly correlated to Chinese economic growth. Like in the past, whenever the Chinese central bank has taken any step this time also on Wednesday the metal stocks reacted positively. But the question is whether this cut is a reflection that the economic slowdown in China is much worse than what the world has been estimating. If the trouble is deeper than what was perceived then metal stocks might stay as under-performers, but if there is a recovery which would first ...

Volatility never gives notice before coming so one should always be prepared for it. Another point to be watched, if the frequency of the volatile phase increases and it starts to happen every other fortnight, it might be an indication of strong headwinds. For a large number of investors, volatility is only when mid-cap stocks correct. But the problem is that by the time they feel the heat of the correction the price damage is very high. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. On...

It was the second time in the last ten days that banks are leading to decline in the market and the midcap index is trading with cuts which were greater than broader market indices. Yesterday should serve as a reminder to all those who have been buying stocks in the last few weeks without even bothering to look both at fundamentals and valuations. For all those who are looking at taking fresh exposure in small and mid-cap segments it would be better that rather than doing post facto analysis the...

On Tuesday, when the whole market was reeling under pressure, two stocks reacted to their numbers in a positive direction. Both of them were large caps from one sector which is pharma. This becomes significant from three perspectives. First, that positive reaction was there on the day when there was a bloodbath on the street. Second, these stocks were already sitting on gains, so there is little probability of short covering leading to this sort of gains. Last but not the least it has come from ...

While the nifty is moving in and out green, there are clear signs of profit booking taking place in the broader market with market breadth being negative. While the initial part of any volatility is led by large caps, as this time it is being led by banks, but there is a higher probability that the large caps are able to stabilize much before any part of the market. So, if one is thinking of fresh exposure to the market it would be better to stick with large caps. ET screener powered by Refinit...
