Amid the buoyant sentiment and increased activity, Nifty valuations has reached elevated levels and demand consistent delivery on earnings expectations,"said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services."Given rich valuations, one cannot ignore intermittent volatility -- however, we expect the positive momentum to continue on the back of improving economic activity and recovery in corporate earnings."According to Ashish Biswas, Head of Technical Research, CapitalVia Global Research: "The market is growing due to excess liquidity and a low-interest rate regime. Investors also felt relieved by the Federal Reserve's stance on withdrawing stimulus and raising interest rates.""FIIs and DIIs continue to pour in more investment in the market which has led to further highs. The fear of the third wave has also decreased and investors are not worried about the adverse impacts on the economy as more and more people get vaccinated."In addition, Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities said: "This shows the impact of return of FPIs and local investors continuing to invest despite headwinds that cropped up time and again.""The absence of a 10 per cent correction in the indices over the last 18 months shows the maturity of the local investors, but also throws up the possibility of that happening over the next few weeks or months."IANS Mumbai For Latest Updates Please-
