The strong bull run revives the stress that investors had in late March when global investors were frightened about the economic setbacks due to the Covid-19 pandemic surging to the market. India’s Market Capitalization jumps over 3.5-trillion—almost double from about 1.3-trillion then in March.
Several factors contributed to this record-breaking history in the global market, including India’s post-record 20% GDP growth to June 30. Moreover, the unprecedented amount of funds infused by central banks to review the economy following the covid-19 lockdown, record-low interest rates in nearly all large markets, and investors’ longings to channelize their savings due to lack of investment opportunities during the nationwide lockdown led by the pandemic.
On 6th September, the Sensex jumped 167 points, rallying to 58,297—and scripted history with a record closing of Intra-day high at 58,516. The Nifty also accompanied the market in a record-breaking trajectory and closed at an all-time high of 17,378 points, 54 points up on the day.
However, the Indian benchmarks still lag behind their US competitors. For instance, you can see the consistent number for the S&P 500 Index is 54 times high. In August, the market touched another milestone after the US Fed commented that it was unlikely to hike the interest rates in a hurry. In conclusion, Sensex grabbed nearly 5,000 points, leading India to be the best-performing stock market globally.
