Are you prepared for a potential global market correction in 2026? What does this mean for your investments in India, and how can you navigate the expected volatility?
A recent interview with Prashasta Seth, CEO of Prudent Investment Managers LLP, highlights the possibility of a major global correction next year, driven by the sharp uptrend in new technology and AI-related stocks. But will India outperform, and what are the key themes that may generate alpha in the next 12-24 months?
Prashasta Seth believes that the Indian stock market may outperform global markets in 2026 due to strong domestic fundamentals, despite the risk of a delayed India-US trade deal and weakness in the Indian rupee. He also highlights the potential for local manufacturing, supply-chain independence, and strategic technology to drive growth.
Historically, the Indian stock market has been less volatile than global markets, with a 5-10% correction during past global drawdowns of 10-15%. The current underperformance of Indian markets compared to global markets, combined with the potential for 15% earnings growth in FY27, may drive returns over the next 12 months.
The Indian market is also less dependent on AI-linked sectors, which could reduce the impact of a global correction. However, the delayed India-US trade deal and weakness in the Indian rupee remain key risks. #InvestInIndia #GlobalMarkets
