NEW DELHI: Indias equity benchmarks snapped their longest weekly winning streak in over a year on Friday, as Sensex and Nifty shed 0.2 per cent each. Analysts are now forecasting a turbulent ride ahead till the elections.
However, the silver lining is that the mild corrections witnessed over the past few days may have created opportunities in select pockets.
We scoured Twitter to see what Dalal Street honchos had to say on the goings-on in the market and on other market-linked events.
While independent market expert Sandip Sabharwal expects the market to correct over the next few days, Basant Maheshwari of Basant Maheshwari Wealth Advisers says the odds of the market rising from here on are quite high.
The next few days could see a moderate correction in Emerging Market Equities. India should also follow. However no big long term concerns.
