  • There are many sources of correction for this strong bull market

  • This does not mean that the bull market is over,

  • Thinks India is only past the halfway mark

  • But a correction will test money in the market

  • Valuation, on its own, is never a reason for stocks to correct

  • But elevated valuations become a catalyst when other fundamental and sentiment events unfold.

  • Two fundamental events to keep an eye are:

    • A potential growth slowdown as for the first time since COVID-19

    • State-level profligacy causes the mix of state-level spending to shift adversely towards redistribution with concomitant risks to inflation

    Two technical risks to monitor are:

    • Possibility that the retail bid on equities shifts to the primary market as equity issuances surge

    • Even though India remains poorly correlated to global markets, such correlations can change quickly if there is a sharp sell-off outside India, especially in the US.
