What Do Experts Say?

The possible resolution of the US government shutdown, along with renewed FII buying driven by a strong Q2 earnings season, helped boost market sentiment. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, said the increase in the US 10-year Treasury yield indicates improving risk appetite for equities following the reopening of the federal government.

He added that, on the domestic front, strengthening macroeconomic indicators are expected to support upward revisions in earnings estimates for H2FY26. This, in turn, reinforces current valuations and is likely to draw additional liquidity.
