“India’s GDP growth upgrade to 6.4% from 6.0% for FY24 by S&P Global Rating has bought optimism to the broad market. The Nifty50 could cross the psychological level of 20,000 and be able to sustain the gains providing long-term support. Bold performance of the global markets and IPOs listing are adding glitters to mid & small caps. State exit poll and the final result slated to be announced on Sunday may bring some cautiousness,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
