Market Corrections: How the Nifty 50, Nifty Bank Responds and What Investors Should Do

China Stimulus: One of the main reasons for the exit is the potential for higher returns from the Chinese market. China has recently introduced a series of stimulus measures, including easing monetary policies and boosting government spending, aimed at revitalizing its slowing economy and attracting global investment back into its markets. It is not the only reason, so let us look at other reasons as well. 

Premium Valuation: The Indian market median PE (starting in 2007) is 21.9. Before the recent fall, the Nifty50 PE was over 24, which makes the Indian market slightly over-valued compared to other emerging economies. As global markets offer more attractive valuations, FIIs are shifting their focus to other markets. 

 Global Headwinds:

• US Jobs Data and Rate Cut Expectations: Strong US jobs data has led to a surge in US Treasury yields. This makes emerging markets like India less attractive to foreign investors, as they can get better returns in safer US bonds. It also reduces the likelihood of the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in 2025, which was previously expected and supporting emerging markets. 
 
 

• Rising Oil Prices: Geopolitical tensions and production cuts have pushed oil prices higher. This increases input costs for Indian companies and can lead to inflationary pressures, impacting investor sentiment.
• Global Economic Slowdown Concerns: Fears of a global recession continue to loom, with factors like high inflation and interest rate hikes in many countries. This makes investors risk- averse and can lead to them pulling out of emerging markets. 

With all of this being in the past, the market now looks to have come at a place where both the major Indian indices NIFTY and BANKNIFTY are showing signs for a momentary shift towards the upside.having already formed a consolidation range, NIFTY can be seen making a Liquidity hunt with price oscillating around the accumulation zone. The target of around 4.78% from current price is expected with the overall move targeting price of 25462.

BANKNIFTY can be seen inside of a bearish regression channel showing immediate upward move with price targeting 52262 which can also potentially trigger a bigger price correction with price moving towards 46800-46700 range.
