2(a) | Fiscal Deficit Roadmap: A Positive Surprise!
🔸FY25RE fiscal deficit revised down to 4.8% vs 4.9% est.
🔸FY26 target at 4.4%, better than market expectations (~4.5%)
🔸Gross market borrowing hiked to ₹14.8 lakh cr (from ₹14.0 lakh cr in FY25)
Here is the Market Strategy 2025 by ICICI Direct’s research team! A 🧵.
CY24 was a roller-coaster for domestic equities, with Nifty hitting 26,300 in September before giving up half its gains to close with a 10% return. Mid and small caps outperformed, delivering 25%+ returns.
🔸#Nifty - Fair value pegged at 28,300 (21x PE on FY27E earnings).
🔸#Sensex - Target set at 94,300.
Record primary market activity with ₹3 lakh crore+ raised via IPOs, QIPs, and OFS, reflecting market maturity and depth for foreign investors.
After a modest 7% growth in Nifty earnings for FY25E, we anticipate a return to double-digit growth with a 15% CAGR over FY25-27E, driven by robust GDP growth, declining interest rates, and supportive policies.
(2/n)
🔸Indian households (directly and indirectly) now hold ₹138 lakh crore in equities, marking an impressive increase of ₹80 lakh crore over the past four years, up from ₹58 lakh crore.
The Technical Yearly Outlook 2025 by ICICI Direct’s Research team is here!
🔸In the journey towards #Nifty hitting 50000 by 2030, it has achieved the milestone of 24800 for the CY24.
🔸We expect the index to hit 28800 in CY25, despite volatility in H2CY24.
The positive bias is validated by following observations

(1/n)
Decadal Theory backs this bias
🔸Since 1979, every decade has delivered 4x returns! CY25 marks the "5th year," historically volatile but lucrative, with median returns in the high teens.
🔸This aligns with our 28800 target.
🔸Projection for the current decade (CY21-30) on the basis of CY20 close (Nifty - 13982) works out to around 55,000.

📈 What do the charts tell us?
#Nifty is projected to continue its northbound journey, supported by the rising channel visible in the monthly chart.
🔸Nifty’s 55-month rally from #COVID lows and #Fibonacci cycles signal a time correction phase nearing completion.
🔸Expect upward momentum towards 28800, with support at 22000.
The weekly chart shows Nifty bouncing off its 52-week EMA, historically a robust entry point.
🔸Buying near the 52-week EMA has yielded median 23% returns over the next 12 months in the past.
🔸Corrections of ~12% provide a favorable risk-reward ratio for investors eyeing the 28800 target.
