The BSE Sensex is down by more than 8 per cent on YTD basis in 2022 so far while it is down by more than 11 per cent from the highs of 2022.

The equity markets continue to stay volatile, and it is no time for the bulls to relax.

Yet again the market has given way and the Sensex has floated around the level of 56,000. Since August 2021 when the market.

As mentioned in my last editorial, the market had already priced in factors such as higher crude oil, above average raw material prices, disruption in supply chain and the geopolitical situation but when a positive trigger like the news of HDFC and HDFC Bank merger surfaced, the market jumped up phenomenally.

nvestors with investible money are in a Catch 22 situation.
