Varun Aggarwal, founder and Managing Director of Profit Idea, provided insights into the market's performance.

Aggarwal said, “Nifty closed on a positive note today. As we have highlighted markets are in strength irrespective of global worries”.

Moreover, the day saw significant movements in mid and small-cap stocks, presenting diverse opportunities within this segment.

Aggarwal also pointed out the noteworthy outperformance of stocks in the IT, Metal, and Media sectors during the rally, contributing to the market's upward momentum.

“Today saw a very good moment in mid & small stocks. Bias was quite positive & many were up by 5-20 per cent. Clearly a lot of opportunities in that space”, said Aggarwal.

Crucially, India's economy showcased a firm GDP growth rate of 7.8 per cent in the first quarter (April-June) of 2023-24, underlining the nation's position as the fastest-growing major economy globally.

This impressive growth rate has substantially bolstered investor confidence. In response, global investment bank Morgan Stanley has raised its economic growth forecast for India for the fiscal year 2024, elevating it from 6.2 per cent to 6.4 per cent.

This upward revision reflects the optimism surrounding India's economic outlook and its pivotal role as a significant growth driver on the global stage. (ANI)
