Indian equities extended their recovery as moderation in crude and global yields improved risk appetite, despite reservations around the continued geopolitical uncertainty. Investor sentiment was further backed by positive global cues after largely anticipated policy actions from major central banks, noted Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments. Although IT stocks declined against the backdrop of profit booking, as reservations lingered that prolonged higher-interest-rate could weigh on global tech spending, he went on, the rebound was broad-based throughout sectors. While the recent moderation in oil rates and yields has provided near-term relief, the sustainability of the market recovery will depend on further easing of global macro risks and a meaningful revival in foreign investor inflows, the analyst further stated.
