Experts Advise Valuation Discipline Amid India's Mid- and Smallcap Market Rally
Indian equity markets show strong interest in mid- and smallcap stocks, driven by themes like AI, defence, and manufacturing, amid rising valuations and market polarization. Experts advise investors to focus on fundamentals, valuation discipline, and sustainable growth rather than momentum or FOMO. While volatile crude oil prices and elevated US yields may pressure near-term returns, India's growth prospects and domestic liquidity provide resilience. Commodities are gaining attention as strategic portfolio assets beyond gold, reflecting structural market shifts and diversification needs.
