Negative global cues, FIIs dumping their investments, the Israel-Hamas war, and crude price hikes all are against domestic market growth. However, India is a land of festivals, and the biggest festivals are around the corner, which are holding the investors together. It is quite transparent, that the 2nd week of October has been dragged by the global cues but the domestic festive-led enthusiasm didn’t let the market fall over its face.
