Mumbai: Last week was full of turmoil for the Indian stock markets. On the global front, Donald Trump’s victory in the US and Ukraine’s attack on Russia with US missiles increased geopolitical tensions amid fears of a Russian nuclear war, and on the other hand, sentiment over the Adani case went down. After the elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand during the week, the market will see the positive impact of the mandate in favor of the BJP led alliance in Maharashtra to form a stable and strong government in the state. The huge rise in the stock markets at the end of last week on Friday and now the possibility of stoppage of selling by foreign funds will cause an immediate U-turn in the market. The process of inevitable reform can now be considered over. Now, barring any unwanted geopolitical factors, the market will be seen trading in a bullish consolidation phase from here. There will be a rise in selected stocks, but keeping in mind the fundamentals and overvaluation factor, it would be advisable to stay away from buying weak stocks. In the coming week, Nifty spot may close at 24444 above the support level of 23555 at 24111 and Sensex may close at 80777 above the support level of 77977 at 80000.
