An important ongoing trend in the market is the weakness in the broader market with sharp cuts in many mid and small caps, says V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
Many such stocks driven up by speculative buying without consideration for the fundamentals are correcting. This trend is likely to continue since many such stocks are excessively valued, he said.
The explosive growth in the number of demat accounts and the newbies chasing mid and small-caps influenced by recency bias have contributed to this froth in the broader market. A correction in this segment is inevitable and desirable, he added.
