Bull vs bear: When will Nifty 50 hit 25K, Sensex climb to one lakh?

After reaching recent record highs previous week, the main indices of the Indian stock market couldn't maintain those levels and saw significant drops thereafter.

This might have raised concerns among investors about whether the market has reached its highest point and if a bearish trend is approaching.

Experts say that in the post-COVID period, the Indian markets have experienced three periods of both rising and falling trends.

Based on the performance since COVID-19, it is predicted that the Nifty 50 index could touch 25,000 by the end of the current financial year or by February-March 2025.

Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager at a research firm expects that the Sensex would increase three times the rally of the Nifty 50 index within a given period.

Sandeep Pandey, Founder of Basav Capital, suggests focusing on stocks that have potential for wealth creation.

He suggests looking at companies that don't have any debt, have consistently reported positive quarterly results in the past, and examining their forward PE and last five years CAGR to find good investment opportunities for the long-term investment.

Federal Reserve holds rates steady, notes 'lack of further progress on inflation'

The US Federal Reserve has chosen to keep interest rates unchanged for the sixth time in a row, maintaining the same level since July of last year. This decision has led to a slight decline in the stock market, the US dollar, and bond yields.

The Federal Reserve is cautious about lowering interest rates because inflation and economic activity are at the same level.

The Fed is waiting for the decline of inflation before considering rate cuts.

They are closely monitoring various factors like geopolitical events, inflation trends, and the job market

Jerome Powell, the head of the Fed, indicated that there are no plans for rate hikes or cuts in the near future

The Fed's decision affects central banks across the world, including India's RBI, but won't cause big problems unless there are serious economic issues.

Experts suggest to focus more on local factors, especially political stability after elections, while investing in India.
