Why the Sudden Surge in the Stock Market?
• Following the decline in large-cap stocks during early trading, 'value buying' has emerged. Earlier in the morning, the Indian stock market had plummeted by more than 2 percent.
• The RBI has tightened regulations regarding forex trading, triggering a strong recovery in the Rupee. Today, the Rupee witnessed its sharpest surge in 12 years. Against the Dollar, the Rupee climbed 2% to reach 92.8725.
• Some brokerage firms, such as Jefferies, suggest that the Indian market has become oversold. Consequently, investors have engaged in buying across several major sectors.
Summary
