Dr.VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, noted that market volatility is likely to continue in the near term due to uncertainty over theUS-Europe standoff on Greenland tariffs. He highlighted that a potential US Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s tariffs could change market sentiment overnight.

On the positive side, theIMF raised India’s FY26 GDP growth forecast to 7.3%, reflecting a robust economy despite global headwinds. However, earlyQ3 corporate earningshave not yet shown broad recovery, though strong performance in the auto sector is encouraging.

Vijayakumar advised investors to maintain a cautious approach, focusing onhigh-quality stocksandgradually investing on market dips, as geopolitical and economic developments continue to influence market direction.
