Nifty’s rally lacks depth; mid- and smallcaps still expensive, says Mahesh Patil

Mahesh Patil of ABSL AMC says India’s earnings momentum is set to strengthen as consumption improves, rate cuts trickle in, and FIIs return. While PSU banks remain steady, private banks, autos, consumer discretionary and export-oriented sectors may lead the next market leg. With the rupee stabilising and inflation low, investors can expect a more broad-based market recovery ahead.
