The Nifty witnessed a 1000 points bounce in the past 15 sessions (5.9%) and the broader markets have done quite well too. In fact, the Nifty is only 6% away from its all-time high. The earnings season has begun. TCS and Infosys disappointed the street by missing analyst estimates.
As far as the global scenario is concerned, the view is divided. A few analysts believe that the US Fed might hike interest rates in May and beyond once the CPI and PPI inflation data show no signs of easing. While other analysts believe that it might pause interest rate hikes after the last hike next month.
