    What's the story

    Indian equity benchmark Nifty 50 kicked off the financial year 2024-25 by reaching a record high of 22,529.95 in today's session. This surpassed its previous peak of 22,526.6.

    VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, noted the market's bullish undertone and momentum despite signs of consolidation.

    He also highlighted a recent surge in Nifty by 322 points over two trading days as an indication that the upward trend could continue.

    US Federal Reserve's rate cuts expected to bolster market

    Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research) at Mehta Equities, suggested that investors might engage in bargain hunting.

    He drew attention to the US Federal Reserve's recent announcement about considering three rate cuts this year despite inflationary pressures.

    This move is expected to enhance market stability.

    Tapse also mentioned that while intra-day volatility may persist in the short term, focus will gradually shift towards Q4 corporate earnings.

    Global market trends: US stocks rise, Japanese stocks dip

    Globally, US stocks ended a shortened trading week mostly higher, with both S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average recording their best gains in over two consecutive quarters since 2020.

    This was driven by a robust economy and expectations of potential rate cuts later in the year.

    In contrast, Japanese stocks experienced a downturn with the Nikkei 225 index dropping by 1.5%.

    However, Asian indices like South Korea's Kospi and Hong Kong's Hang Seng recorded gains of up to 0.9%.

    Future outlook

    Market analysts predict high volatility in FY25

    As we enter FY25, market analysts predict high volatility due to the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee's policy meeting.

    The market momentum will largely depend on Nifty's performance and the banking index.

    Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, expressed optimism about sectors such as Pharma, Capital Goods, and Infrastructure being key growth drivers.

    He also anticipates a revival in sectors like FMCG and IT, driven by predictions of a normal monsoon and increased US demand following rate cut.
