The underperformance of mid-caps and small-caps

US Fed comments eyed by global markets
Dr. Vijay Kumar of Geojit Financial Services states that attention now focuses on the US Federal Reserve’s commentary. An increase in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve will have a positive effect on the market if the Fed indicates that it would like to soften its position.
Federal Reserve policy is expected to curtail interest rate increases
In a similar vein, HDFC’s Deepak Jasani has indicated that the market expects the US Federal Reserve to soften its current rate hike. As far as this view is concerned, it appears that global markets have been in a favorable mood for the past 1-2 weeks. On the other hand, the Indian market is once again attracting foreign institutional investors (FPIs), who have been reluctant to invest in it due to its high valuation. As Jasani further stated, PSU banks are involved in the acquisition of government-owned oil exploration companies and materials companies. Apart from this, both domestic and foreign investors are buying in auto, realty, healthcare, telecom, capital goods, and consumer durables.
