Expert Take
Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, highlighted that market focus remains on RBI’s monetary policy. He stated:
"Banking stocks are likely to draw attention. A pause by the MPC, which seems most probable, will impart resilience to banking stocks. While short-term volatility may persist due to FII selling, long-term investors should focus on systematic investment in high-quality largecaps."
