Share Market Today LIVE | Nestle, Reliance, Tech Mahindra hit 52-week highs

Three stocks in the 30-scrip basket reach the milestone:

EXPERT VIEW | George Thomas, Fund Manager, Equity at Quantum AMC, on current market

"Domestic economic environment looks favorable for the persistence of current earnings upcycle in the medium term. Healthy credit demand is indicative of a strong economic environment. India’s economic resilience amid the global slowdown could attract FII flows in the medium term, potentially giving more legs to the current rally. Incremental data points across the globe suggest a possibility of faster-than-expected moderation in global inflation, limiting the quantum of further rate hikes. A faster-than-expected normalization in the global environment would be positive for the corporate earnings cycle. Given the sharp run-up, investors may consider making incremental investments in a staggered manner to benefit from the ongoing earnings upcycle."
