MUMBAI: An average of one rupee was added to the stock market wealth of each public investor in every minute of trade during the last fiscal- a period that saw the total market wealth grow by over Rs 6.73 lakh crore.
However, the gains during the fiscal ended March 31 were just about one-fifth of the same during the previous fiscal-both for the overall market and public investors.
Meanwhile on Friday, benchmarks ended lackluster session marginally in the red as bulls ran out of steam after eight-day long winning streak. Buying activity was seen in broader markets as the investors turned focus on midcaps and smallcaps after sharp rise in frontline stocks.
According to experts, the market may witness some upmove in the short-term on the back of dollar inflows from foreign institutional investors but rising crude oil prices and inflation worries may play spoil sport.
"During the past two weeks, FIIs have pumped in close to $2 billion surprising even the most optimistic investor. The Indian markets had underperformed the global peers and were reasonably valued, which may have attracted FII interest. However, the fundamental concerns relating to inflation and interest rates still persist, leading to doubts over the durability of this rally.
In the short-term, it is likely that the markets may take a breather after strong rally. But if the momentum in FII flow remains strong, then we may even see higher levels in the coming week. In all probability, we expect the action to shift to mid and small cap companies that have been severely de-rated in the past few months.
We continue to maintain favourable view on IT, media and banking. We also remain positive on a longer term over capital goods and infrastructure," said Sanjeev Zarbade, Vice President (Private Client Group Research), Kotak Securities.
