Nifty 50 May End 2026 Near 27,000, Says Analyst
Rahul Ghose, a market analyst, said the Indian stock market, called the Nifty 50, went up 2.2% in July.
He thinks the index could finish 2026 around 27,000 points if oil prices stay between $80 and $85 a barrel and companies keep earning well.
He warns that a big rise in oil prices could stop the market from going higher.
He advises investors to buy good stocks when prices dip, not chase the strongest ones.
He also listed 10 companies he thinks will do well, like Hero MotoCorp and Larsen & Toubro.
The market is expected to stay positive but not too risky for the rest of the year.
Nifty 50 gained 2.2% in July, supported by FPI buying and lower oil prices.
Rahul Ghose projects the index to end 2026 around 26,800–27,000 if oil stays $80–$85/barrel.
Key triggers for the market include crude oil price, corporate earnings, and FII flows.
Ghose advises accumulating quality stocks on dips, not chasing strength.
He lists 10 long‑term picks, including Hero MotoCorp, Larsen & Toubro, and Info Edge (India).
