Sensex Falls 325 Points as Nifty Tests 23,695
India’s main stock indexes fell today.
The Sensex dropped by more than 325 points.
The Nifty came close to 23,695.
Many regular investors are putting money into smaller companies instead of bigger companies.
The smaller companies are described as having high valuations.
An analyst said their prices may eventually move back toward more normal levels.
If that happens, stronger large companies could perform better.
The analyst suggested investors consider putting more of their portfolios into large-caps, but said the timing is uncertain.
The Sensex fell by more than 325 points, while the Nifty tested 23,695.
Large-cap stocks remained weak despite what the commentary described as attractive valuations.
Monthly systematic investment plan inflows are largely moving into mid- and small-cap stocks.
The commentary said a return toward average valuations in mid- and small-cap stocks could support fundamentally sound large-caps.
A possible shift could occur by month-end after the NSE and Jio mega IPOs are completed and IPO refunds return to investors.
