“Despite the brutal 500 bp rate hike by the Fed, the surprising and unexpected resilience of the US economy—2% GDP growth in Q1 2023—is the main driver of the current rally in global stock markets. According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, “Global markets, which had discounted a US recession by mid-2023, have been proven incorrect and the markets are now making up for the excessively negative pricing in 2022.
Sustained FPI flows (Rs 47,148 crore in June) is the main driver of the rally in India, Vijayakumar added.
