“Many global market experts are warning of bubbles in many asset classes, most prominently in equities. Equities, globally, are over-valued by all matrixes. But, interestingly, most bears warning about the collapse of the bubble are fully invested. These “fully invested bears” reflect the present market dilemma. Most bears are fully invested because the usual triggers for a sharp correction – persistent inflation, hawkish Fed, signals of imminent recession – are absent. So, the bull juggernaut may continue to roll on; but investors have to exercise caution. Some rebalancing of portfolios in favor of fixed income may be initiated. Markets are likely to respond positively to many Q1 FY22 numbers coming out from this week onwards. Brent crude at $77 is a serious macro concern,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
