On suggestion to stock market investors as RBI MPC meeting begins today, Sandeep Pandey, Former Deputy Vice President at HDFC Bank said, "Amid fear of economic recession in developed nations like US and European countries, Indian economy has dropped no sign of any weakness in last few quarters. In fact, it has gained from strength to strength in last few quarters. Recent better-than-expected GDP numbers, strong GST collections and national inflation at its lowest levels (as claimed by the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Mumbai last week), Indian stock market is positioned in sweet spot and both DII and FIIs are buying in bulk, which has fueled majority of the Indian indices at record high, which includes Bank Nifty, small-cap and mid-cap index."
Sandeep Pandey said that RBI is expected to maintain status quo on interest rate and high interest rate regime may last for long. He advised long term investors to look at manufacturing and IT sector stocks as they are available at discounted price and next leg of rally is expected from these segments.
