The Indian markets have seen a massive bounceback from their lows in October and March. There have been many a debates on whether the market is currently witnessing a bear or a bull market rally. In an excusive interview with Ruchir Sharma, Head of Emerging Markets at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, said that the Indian markets were currently in a cyclical bull market and that he expected the bounce to be about 50-100%. When asked what a cyclical bull market meant, he said: “A bull market means that you’re starting a new era where the highs of the old bull market are going to be taken out. Instead there is a middle path, which is what we call a cyclical bull market within a structural downtrend.” However, Sharma added that by the year end or next year, the market would come down again as the structural problems had not yet been cleared. “As the duration of this bear market still hasn’t been long enough to set the scene for a new bull market to begin.”
