India is in a bull market; stay invested: Rajesh Bhatia

«So, while there are technical factors like the yen carry trade or the lack of confidence in the AI theme with the returns not commensurate with the investments that are being made in AI, etc, those are probably technical issues related to the market which is triggering some foreign selling,» says Rajesh Bhatia, CIO, ITI MF.

The one question that everybody wants to have an answer for is how much should one be having the confidence that it is the kind of uptick that we are seeing on Nifty 50 today, the kind of gains that we are seeing today, how much is that giving you the confidence that yes, we are over the global selloff or do you believe that in the near term there are some more risks that could be there in the room?
Rajesh Bhatia: Well, look at it this way. Among the strongest markets in the world today has been the Indian market.

It has hardly fallen. I think we have fallen probably 3% or 4% from the top, whereas the world has been far more volatile.

So, it really is a very-very strong market. So, what you are really witnessing is a correction in the Indian bull market.

So, while there are technical factors like the yen carry trade or the lack of confidence in the AI theme with the returns not commensurate with the investments that are being made in AI, etc, those are probably technical issues related to the market which is triggering some foreign selling. But as far as the Indian markets are concerned, it is an extremely strong market, minus the fact that the US could be going into a slowdown and it is difficult to kind of gauge the extent of the slowdown as yet but it is certainly going into a slowdown and which is going to trigger interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve.
