“YTD Nifty is down 3.3% while Nifty Midcap is down 9.1% and Nifty Small cap is down 14.71%. The takeaway from this important data is that valuations are reverting to mean. This trend will make the market healthy and is likely to continue. Correction in the overvalued broader market is desirable,” Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

“The recovery in the market witnessed yesterday can continue with resilience in fairly priced financials. However, a sharp rally is unlikely since FIIs will sell at higher levels. The market will be looking forward to positive cues in the Budget. The Fed decision today is unlikely to influence the market since no change in policy is expected from this meeting,” he added.
