Ashwini Kumar, Senior Vice President and Head Market Data, ICRA Analytics, said, “Domestic equity markets witnessed some initial volatility ahead of the outcome of the general elections. However, markets rebounded sharply on hopes of political stability and policy continuity. Gains were extended after India’s GDP growth came better than expectations and stood at 7.8% in the fourth quarter of FY24. Market sentiments were further boosted after the Reserve Bank of India upgraded the GDP growth rate of the domestic economy to 7.2% from 7.0% for FY25 even though it kept the key policy repo rate unchanged.”
Debt mutual funds, however, witnessed a surge in outflows at Rs 1.07 lakh crore with 12 out of 16 schemes registering net outflows in June 2024.
“Bond yields also rose initially and witnessed volatility amid the outcome of general elections, however, the trend reversed, and bond yields fell following decline in U.S. Treasury yields that boosted expectations of rate cuts as well as supported by Indian bonds inclusion in JP Morgan Emerging Market index,” Kumar said.
