Mohit Nigam, Head, PMS – Hem Securities, said that we are quite bullish on the market as technical setup remains strong.
In an interview to Moneycontrol’s Kshitij Anand, Nigam said that the index still trades above the crucial support levels, but we could see some volatility ahead if a third COVID wave strikes or any any other unanticipated macro-economic event occurs. Edited excerpts:
Q) What is your view on markets as Nifty50 climbs up 16K, finally! And, is the road bumpy or smooth for the index to touch 17000?
A) Indian market remained volatile in the month of July amid global cues but during the start of August, the Nifty50 touched its all-time high mark. Soon after hitting that mark, the index seems to be marching towards the upward direction.
We are quite bullish on the market as the technical setup remains strong. The index still trades above the crucial support levels, but we could see some volatility ahead if the COVID 3rd wave or any other unanticipated macro-economic event occurs.
But, the evidence indicates that bulls have had an upper hand. The 17000 mark could ideally take some time but 16400 levels can be seen in the near term.
Overall macroeconomic numbers are showing recovery trends which are also fueling the market.
Q) Nifty hit 15,000 for the first time on Feb 5, and since then it has been moving steadily. After hitting 16000 after 5-6 months – do you think we have hit a top?
A) As we can see India was hit by the 2nd Covid Wave during the month of March, April and May 2021 that was the main reason for the slow movement seen in the Indian Benchmark Indices but during that time also market remained stable and didn’t tumble which gave a lot of confidence to the investors.
Earnings of Indian companies have largely met market expectations, with strong macroeconomic indicator numbers boosting market sentiment which makes bulls in control and directing the overall trend.
We expect the same momentum to continue in August as well — so to answer your question, we still think there’s upside left in nifty.
Q) What is your call on small & midcaps which also hit fresh record highs today, but have outperformed benchmark indices on a YTD basis? Time to be selective in this space? What are your views?
A) We can see continuous momentum in the Small and Midcap segment. Currently, we can see that the companies in this segment have shifted to a more growth-oriented and sustainable business approach which has helped in bringing the traction in this sector.
Technical indicators also suggest the uptrend in small & midcap space but in the near term, broader markets may witness minor correction or consolation as we can see some profit booking in the particular segment.
In our opinion investors need to be cautious in this segment as these stocks have great potential of appreciation in their prices, which comes with significant risk.
Investors should look for strong management, financial stability (strong revenue and profit), should invest in sector which they understand, and see vision-ability with proper selection and allocation be they key in this particular segment

Q) Which are the mistakes that one should avoid as market trade near record highs?
A) Retail investors often make the mistake of jumping onto the bull drive at the peak of the market. This should be avoided. It is crucial for long-term investors to select the right stock at a fair price to make the risk-to-reward ratio more favorable in the long term.

Looking at the current market investors should not sell off good quality stocks just because the valuations have become expensive with regard to its own historical parameters. They can keep getting costlier as the bull market progresses.
