Opportunities Amid Market Challenges in 2025
The Indian equity market has started 2025 on a challenging note, reminiscent of the turbulent final quarter of 2024. Volatility remains elevated, and despite not so bad corporate earnings, the market continues its relentless decline, primarily due to selling by the foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Since the beginning of the year, no major equity index—whether broad-based or sectoral—has registered gains and all are trading in the red. This raises an important question: Will 2025 be even tougher for investors than the last quarter of 2024?
