Expert’s View
“Nifty was just a kiss away from the 25k mark. Once the index crosses the psychological level, we believe sentiments will get a further boost. This week, the market will focus on the Central Bank’s global policy meeting as the US Federal Reserve, BOE, and BOJ announce their decision. Thus, interest-sensitive sectors including banking will remain in focus. Overall, we expect the market to continue its gradual uptick, however, volatility cannot be ruled out ahead of key events,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
