Shares are mostly higher in Europe and Asia as China's leaders begin a major meeting expected to bring fresh pledges of help for the world's second-largest economy

«We will get to know in the next few days how it goes, that typically means higher yields and stronger dollar, which is against what the market had factored in. But the underlying reason is that our valuations were rich and earnings are not supporting it, that is causing and compounding the problem,» says Gurmeet Chadha, Complete Circle Consultants. There are geopolitical events, there are elections in US, US markets are holding on, Asian markets are holding on, but India is reacting to what could happen to American elections. So, why are we pre-empting and reacting to every event in the world? Gurmeet Chadha: It has been a combination of two-three factors. I agree it has largely been FII sell-off, I mean, probably a record number in October. Never personally seen every single trading session, FII selling and that has been compounded by two things. One, the earnings and the monthly updates we get on different sectors, including auto and high-frequency sectors, which indicate economic momentum, have been a little underwhelming.

Nilesh Shah, MD, Kotak AMC, says the returns we have seen in the last three and five years are unlikely to be repeated over the next three and five years. Last five years’ returns from Jan ‘20 to September ‘24 were about 21% for the broad market and about 30% plus for small and midcap. Those returns are unlikely to be repeated over the next three or five years. The returns could still be in the low double digits, if there is a fair possibility that India continues to deliver and our peers continue to score a self-goal. In the last couple of weeks, it has been local versus global. Globally, things are okay, locally, things are bad. Do you think this trend of local versus global will continue? Nilesh Shah: In some sense, local and global are two opposite sides of a coin and in some sense they are on the same side. If stock prices go up, both local and global investors benefit. But the driver for local and global investors could be different. Global investors have a much wider plate to invest into. Local investors, by definition, are constrained to invest in India. Global investors often come down or top down, though many of them have established offices in India.
