HSBC Report: Indian Equities Attractive Over Longer Term
A big money company in India called HSBC Mutual Fund wrote a report about the stock market.
They said India's stocks are a good place to put money for a long time.
This is because companies are making good profits and building new things.
The report also said that trade deals with Europe and the US could help India sell more things to other countries.
Last month, the stock market in India went up by 2.2 per cent.
Some types of companies, like computer, housing and car companies, did really well.
People from other countries put $2.5 billion into Indian stocks, and people inside India put in even more.
The report also talked about the weather, saying there was less rain than usual.
The central bank kept interest rates the same, which helps keep prices stable.
Overall, the report thinks India's money future looks pretty good.
HSBC Mutual Fund says Indian equities remain constructive over the longer term, supported by corporate earnings recovery, private capex and potential trade deals.
Indian equities ended July with a 2.2 per cent gain, with IT, real estate and automobiles among the best-performing sectors.
India recorded $2.5 billion in FII inflows in July, while DII inflows remained positive at $3.7 billion.
Cumulative rainfall recovered from 40 per cent below the long-period average at end-June to 12 per cent below at end-July 2026, with IMD forecasting a below-normal monsoon for August.
RBI maintained the repo rate at 5.25 per cent with a neutral stance, while GDP growth was revised marginally higher to 6.7 per cent and inflation lower to 5.0 per cent for FY27.
