231 smallcaps suffer double-digit losses as investors 'sell in May'. Will they come back in June? The stock market cliche of 'sell in May and go away' proved true this year amid general election uncertainties. Concerns over BJP's election performance and significant volatility affected investor sentiments. Benchmark indices like Sensex and Nifty experienced slight declines.
Sanjiv Bhasin, Director at IIFL Securities, discusses the bullish trend in stocks, particularly in capex and cable-related sectors. He highlights optimism despite high valuations, mentioning GMR and RR Kabel's performance.
The massive surge was supported by gains in banks and financials. The 30-share BSE Sensex pack soared 599 points to hit a record high of 76,010, while the broader NSE Nifty index moved over 151 points higher to trade at a fresh lifetime peak of 23,108.
In the Nifty pack, 20 stocks closed in the green, while 30 stocks ended in the red.
The Nifty IT index closed 0.51 per cent up at 33995.25.
