NEW DELHI: Global market environment is improving and investors on Dalal Street are hopeful that things would perk up on the domestic front as well. With an uptick in IIP data and inflation being under control, some say these are the signs that the economy is on a path to recovery.

Usually, market recovery precedes economic recovery. And that’s the topic that has kept twittereti engaged past few weeks.

Sandip Sabharwal, an independent market expert, says India is in a sweet spot right now and all it needs is a nudge from the government.



Sabharwal in another tweet said one strategic disinvestment by the government would improve the sentiment of D-Street significantly.

With the US markets near their all-time high levels, Sabharwal believes Indian market too will reach there over the course of a few months.

Safir Anand, a value investor, said this is a good time to move away from largecaps and look to invest in smallcaps and midcaps, as they are available at good valuations.


Arun Mukherjee, known for spotting value in smallcap stocks, says this is the right time to load up on stocks in which you have high conviction.
