From regional skirmishes to brewing superpower rivalries, the last 15 years have battered global markets. Yet India’s benchmark indices have risen above the fray, showcasing extraordinary bounce-back ability, per Axis Asset Management’s insightful Monday release.
Patterns emerge starkly: spikes in tension—Operation Sindoor, 2011 Mideast chaos—trigger immediate index slides. World markets quiver; India follows suit briefly.
But resilience reigns. Post-conflict, Indian shares surge anew, validating their core strength. Amid today’s US-Israel-Iran hostilities and missile barrages denting global sentiment, the report sounds a rallying cry.
Short-term dips from wars are routine and reversible, particularly if battles stay local. Broader trajectories? They’re shaped by earnings momentum, liquidity flows, and domestic consumption power.
‘History favors the steady,’ affirms Axis Mutual Fund’s Ashish Gupta. ‘Conflicts probe emotions, but markets mend. Weak currencies and oil hikes pass; stay invested, diversify prudently, seize downturns to add positions.’
Panic sellers of yesteryear forfeited the swift rebounds that ensued. This isn’t uncharted territory—it’s a repeat performance.
The big takeaway from 15 years of trials: Indian markets don’t just survive geopolitical gauntlets; they conquer them, rewarding visionaries who look beyond the storm.
