NEW LISTING

Even though the Ukraine war and the consequent crude spike impacted markets initially, the war is not impacting markets much now. The major headwinds for markets in 2022 will continue to be the high US inflation and Fed tightening. It appears that markets have priced in around 190 bp hike by the Fed in 2022. The fact that markets continue to be resilient in spite of so many headwinds is a reflection of the strength of this bull market. DIIs and retail investors now exert more influence on the market than FPIs. Domestic investors emerging as a major counter force to the fair weather FPIs is a desirable development. However, retail investors have to be more vigilant in their investment by avoiding low-grade stocks and investing in high quality stocks.
