Going ahead, market investors will look forward to the outcome of insurance behemoth LIC’s Q4 earnings later in the day. In an exchange filing last week, the company informed that its board will also consider payment of dividend.
“The market is set for a near-term rally. The sharp upswing in Nasdaq and S&P 500 late last week indicates near-term trend reversal. The decline in dollar index and the US 10-year bond yields, too, are positives for risk particularly in emerging markets. The beaten down IT segment is likely to stage a good comeback assisted by short-covering. Financials, particularly the leading banks, have more room to go up assisted by delivery based investment buying. However, Brent crude at $ 120 is a major macro headwind,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
