The 30-share BSE benchmark index has gained 9 per cent so far this year. It is currently trading near 37,121 level. Markets scaled its lifetime peak this year, with the benchmark Sensex hitting its all-time high level of 38,989.65 on August 29. Experts have indicated that this year, trends in crude oil prices, domestic political dynamics, global interest rates and developments at the international trade front would be important factors impacting the equity market movement in the near term.
What has hit investor sentiment are rupee woes, high crude oil prices, unabated foreign fund outflows and escalating trade tensions between the US and China have dampened the market sentiment.
"Indian markets are facing multiple headwinds such as all-time low rupee, rise in bond yields and rise in crude oil prices leading to vulnerability of Indian macros," said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Senior VP and Head of Research (Wealth) at Centrum Broking.
"Accentuating the volatility, we are in a politically charged up year with string of state assembly elections and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. All these factors will keep upsides of Indian markets capped," Thunuguntla added.
Outlook: "Firstly, the world financial market has to stabilize with some cure in trade and currencies volatility. Unless, if this continues we will have to absorb the real impact of trade and currency war over the next 12 months. Along with that, the global bond yield has to calm down. Only post this, India will be able to experience the real benefits of outperformance which is currently hidden under the muted performance of the world equity," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
"Strong domestic inflows and corporate earnings will be the key triggers for the market going forward," said Rahul Sharma, Senior Research Analyst, Equity99.
