Indian Stocks Show Resilience Amid Global Uncertainties
In 2025, the Indian stock market faced challenges due to global uncertainties and foreign investors pulling out money.
However, domestic investors, like mutual funds and retail investors, stepped in and invested a lot of money, which helped keep the market stable.
This shift showed that domestic investors are now playing a big role in the market.
Additionally, gold and silver performed very well, giving high returns.
As we move into 2026, experts suggest that investors should diversify their portfolios and focus on strong companies with good earnings.
They also recommend buying stocks like M&M, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Lupin, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, and JK Lakshmi Cement, which are expected to do well.
Hindustan Copper's share price has also been rising due to the increase in copper prices and the growing demand for copper in the EV and AI sectors.
Experts believe it's a good stock to buy and hold for the long term.
Foreign investors withdrew $18 billion from Indian equities in 2025, the worst year for foreign outflows in nearly two decades.
Domestic investors injected a record $83 billion into equities, offsetting foreign exits and stabilizing the market.
Gold surged 65% and silver jumped 133% in 2025, outperforming other asset classes.
Religare Broking recommends five stocks for 2026: M&M, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Lupin, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, and JK Lakshmi Cement.
Hindustan Copper share price hit a 52-week high of ₹430.50, rising 70% in YTD, driven by surging copper prices and demand from EV and AI sectors.
