New Delhi, Dec 7: In spite of favourable factors, there will be dips in the market triggered by profit booking at higher levels, says V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

There are three factors that can keep the market resilient. One, steady decline in US bond yields (10-year around 4.1 per cent now) has created a global environment favourable for equities. Two, India’s GDP growth rate is improving and inflation is coming down. The steadily declining crude price is another big positive. Three, political uncertainty surrounding the 2024 General elections appears to be out of the way after the crucial state election results. These factors have emboldened the bulls and bears have been forced to cover their short positions, he said.
