Sensex crosses 65,000 mark in Muhurat trading

Indian indices rose in the Muhurat trading session in line with most such sessions in the past, helped also by positive global cues. After a great year for broader equity markets, investors are looking forward to markets continuing to rise, though not at the same pace, says Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities.

They remain a bit apprehensive of the key risks including the outcome of elections, inflation and interest rate trajectory, and geopolitical events-induced negatives. However, equities remain a preferred choice for investors given the favourable macros and micros and the benevolent view of global institutions/brokerages towards Indian markets, he said.

Having said that, investors need to conduct asset allocation reviews, and portfolio reviews at regular intervals, and raise the quality of stocks held in their portfolio, he added.
