Market outlook
Wall Street major Goldman Sachs sees the Nifty 50 rebounding to 26,500 by June 2027, a level above its current record high of 26,373, as it turns more constructive on India following an improvement in the recent macro backdrop.
The brokerage said lower commodity prices, a stabilised currency, resilient domestic growth, healthy second-quarter earnings expectations and the potential recovery in select domestic sectors have improved the outlook for Indian equities.Goldman Sachs expects a shift in market leadership in the second half of the year, with investors rotating from growth stocks to value plays. The brokerage said valuation de-rating weighed on market returns in the first half amid concerns over an economic slowdown, while growth stocks outperformed because of the scarcity of earnings.Looking ahead, it expects investors to increasingly favour reasonably valued segments as expectations of an economic recovery improve. Goldman Sachs also believes that as foreign outflows reverse in the second half, the biggest beneficiaries are likely to be the most-sold and attractively valued pockets of the market, particularly large-cap stocks and banks.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
