The fall in the stock market is an opportunity, there will be a boom before the budget, understand from the experts which shares and funds to invest in?

News Topical, Digital Desk : Millions of investors are worried by the ongoing stock market decline and heavy losses. A market cap of ₹15 lakh crore has been wiped out in just two days. Consequently, ordinary investors are worried about whether the market decline will deepen, whether they should buy stocks, or invest in mutual funds.

Jagran Business spoke exclusively with market expert Ambarish Baliga and wealth manager Abhishek Bhatt to address this concern among common investors. These two market analysts offered valuable advice to retail investors regarding the current market situation and investment strategies.

Will Nifty rise?

On January 21st, the benchmark index fell below 25,000 and broke the 200-degree daily moving average (DMA). However, the Nifty has now rebounded 200 points from its lows. Independent market expert Ambareesh Baliga says that after two days of sharp declines, the market is oversold, and a significant rebound is likely. A positive statement from US President Donald Trump on the Greenland issue could further boost the market.

Which stocks and mutual funds to buy?

Wealth manager Abhishek Bhatt said that this market decline is a manifestation of panic selling, and often occurs for specific reasons. Instead of fearing this decline, one should look for opportunities to buy select stocks. He added, "The general budget is coming, so pre-budget purchases should be made. The government is preparing to promote the railway, infrastructure, and defense sectors, so investments should be made in stocks related to these sectors."

According to Abhishek Bhatt, the world's outlook on the Indian stock market is positive. The IMF recently raised its GDP forecast for India. The European Union also announced that it will seek a better deal with India.

In such a situation, ordinary investors should not stop their SIPs during this market downturn, but rather increase them. For better and safer returns, invest in mixed mutual funds that invest in gold and silver along with stocks. Additionally, asset allocator funds and financial services funds can also be considered.
