Stock Market News: At the beginning of New Year 2020, the Indian share market looks more polarised than its fractious politics! It seems that incremental inflows are mostly chasing less than a dozen stocks. The reasons for this ‘passive flight to safety’ are not difficult to identify. Macro growth has slipped, alarmingly some say, and is not just on a cyclical downtick. High-frequency data and core indicators are mostly struggling. Policy reform has been directionally encouraging (GST, RERA, IBC, tax cuts, the push for formalisation and financialisation) but messy and inadequate. The government’s efforts to spur CAPEX are sputtering. Modi 2.0 looks like a tougher grind than Modi 1.0, say the detractors.

Speaking on why should the haze lift in Indian share market Dipen Sheth, Head- Institutional Research, HDFC Securities says, "An under-estimated factor is the slowly healing global economy, post some concrete steps by the two largest economies in the world (US and China) to end their looming trade stalemate. Government policy action, as we well know from history, has been boldest when it is cornered. Our intuition is that the upcoming budget may well see the government springing a surprise on its naysayers."
