The equity markets have bounced from their recent lows in spite of the recession fears. It is the steep drop in commodity as well as crude oil prices that are leading to a rally in the equity prices.  

The shares of Inflame Appliances saw a jump of over 6.41 per cent on Friday's trading session. Inflame Appliances shares saw a price volume jump on Friday and also on Thursday's trading session this week. The reason for recent optimism in Inflame Appliances shares has been the allotment of 61,000 equity shares of the face value of Rs 10/- each, for cash, for Rs 382/- per equity share (including a share premium of Rs. 372 per equity share) aggregating to Rs. 25,25,02,000/- on preferential basis to non-promoters. 

At the opening hour, the markets were trading in the green on June 30.  

The markets are attempting to recover from the lower level even as the small-caps are seen outperforming the key benchmark indices on Wednesday. RIL is the top BSE Sensex gainer along with UltraTech Cement and Maruti whereas IndusInd Bank is the top BSE Sensex loser.  

In a nutshell, in the year 2021, BSE Sensex advanced around 10,000 points in a single year and is qualified to be one of the best years for BSE. Comparing BSE Sensex with ten major world indices across nine countries shows that it displayed the best performance among major Asian economies in 2021. The small-cap stocks that are comparatively more volatile than the large-cap and mid-cap space returned the investors' handsome gains with some stocks turning into multi-baggers for 2021.  

Trend reversal happens when any stock jumps more than 20 per cent from its yearly lows. 

The fear of inflation, rising rates, and recession in US markets along with slowing growth in the global economy are negatively impacting the market sentiments, as of now. From a long-term perspective, the market is trading below its average PE multiples and the market can be considered reasonably valued. With valuation getting a little attractive and most of the negatives being factored in, there is a very good chance that we are trading close to the bottom in the Indian markets. 

The sharp correction in the markets has pushed several stocks into the bear market territory.  A stock is said to be in the bear market territory when it slips by more than 20 per cent from its 52-week high. We find several liquid small-cap stocks have also slipped by more than 50 per cent from their respective 52-week highs in the recent market correction.  

May 2022 turned out to be a volatile month for the equity markets. The benchmark indices dropped up to 7 per cent during the month but recovered towards the end of the month. Sensex closed the month 2.47 per cent lower whereas Nifty ended 2.84 per cent down.  

Currently, the equity markets are trading amidst an extremely volatile environment. In the past couple of months, the worries over inflationary pressure and policy tightening by the global central banks have been stretched majorly by the geopolitical crisis in Europe as well as the new wave of COVID-19 in China.
