Share Market Today LIVE | Impact of Trump's assassination attempt on global markets

"The assassin attempt on Trump will have a near-term positive impact on safe assets like gold and dollars. For the medium term, this reinforces Trump’s chances of victory in the November elections and therefore, the ‘Trump trade’ is likely to gather momentum on expectations of rate cuts and liberalisation of the regulatory framework. However, if Trump wins the elections and imposes hefty tariffs on imports from China, it is likely to trigger a trade war with China which has the potential to impact global trade and global growth," says Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

Share Market Today LIVE| IT results from TCS and HCL Tech indicate improving prospects which the market is discounting now, says Dr. V K Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial Services

"The global support for the market rally in India continues. It is important to understand that the US is leading this rally with 18.4 per cent returns YTD in S&P 500 compared with 12.7 per cent YTD returns in Nifty. The latest inflation data in the US indicates a rate cut by the Fed in September. This is likely to keep the US market buoyant with a positive impact in India, too. However, valuations in India are moving to elevated levels," says Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

He adds IT results from TCS and HCL Tech indicate improving prospects which the market is discounting now. But the growth projections of IT companies remain low and, therefore, a sharp restart from the present levels is unlikely. Financials remain the fairly valued segment of the market. The decline in the US 10-year bond yield is positive for FII inflows.

As per Dr. V K Vijayakumar, investors have to be cautious about the excessive valuations in the momentum stocks which are moving to frothy levels.
