News Topical, Digital Desk : On 7 May 2025, the Indian stock market may have a slow start. However, the signals coming from the international market are quite good. At the same time, the effect of Operation Sindoor, launched by India to give a befitting reply to Pakistan's terrorism, will be seen on the stock market. Experts say that this can only be a sentimental effect. As soon as the government's position becomes clear and the results of the operation come out, the market can again react positively.
ICICI Securities report says that the market's focus is on Q4 results and the next policy meeting of the US Fed. What are the signals for investors? Ignore short term volatility. Shift to defensive sectors like FMCG, Pharma. Consider it an opportunity to buy good stocks on dips. Operation Sindoor is a symbol of India's strict security policy. The market may see it with concern initially, but based on past cases, it can be said that this is not the time for long term investors to panic, but to take steps thoughtfully.
