Historic April Surge for Small and Midcaps
Dekho toh sahi, yeh April 2026 waale small aur midcap stocks ne pichhle ek dashak (decade) se bhi zyada ka sabse jabardast performance diya hai. BSE Smallcap index 20.1% tez hua, aur Midcap index 14.8% chadha. Yeh toh benchmark BSE Sensex ke 7.7% gain se bhi kaafi aage hai. Aisa rally toh humne May 2014 mein dekha tha, jab Smallcap index 20.4% aur Midcap index 15.6% bhaga tha.
Aur yeh rally sirf kuch stocks tak nahi thi. BSE Smallcap index ke 1,262 stocks mein se aadhe se zyada (734) toh index se bhi 20% zyada return de gaye. Aise 84 stocks toh 50% se bhi upar bhage, aur 474 stocks 25% se 50% ke beech mein range.
Experts See Opportunity Amid Volatility Warnings
Is baare mein Geojit Investments ke Gaurang Shah batate hain ki yeh rally Q4 earnings ke stable rehne ki umeed aur retail investors ke interest se hui hai. Unhone kaha, "Small-aur midcaps ne 2025 mein thoda theek perform nahi kiya tha, isliye bahut saare stocks ke valuations mast lag rahe the." Par woh yeh bhi kehte hain ki aane wale mahino mein market mein volatility rahegi, isliye stocks dhyan se chunte hain.
Geopolitical Storm Clouds Gather
Ab aate hain chinta ki baat par. Domestic performance toh badhiya hai, par bahar ke kuch factors market ko slow kar sakte hain. Sabse badi tension hai badhte crude oil prices aur Strait of Hormuz ke band hone ka risk. Crude oil $125 per barrel ke paar chala gaya hai, jo pehle ke rate se lagbhag 79% zyada hai. Yeh US-Iran talks ke rukne aur strait ke phir se khulne ki ummeed kam hone se hua hai. High oil prices se inflation badhta hai aur currency stability par bhi asar padta hai.
Technical charts par Nifty ko 23,800 par support hai. Agar is level se neeche gaya toh 23,600–23,400 tak gir sakta hai. Market stable rehne ke liye 24,000 ke upar rehna zaroori hai. Momentum indicators bhi kamzor dikh rahe hain, RSI 50 ke neeche chala gaya hai.
Indian Rupee bhi geopolitical events se kaafi sensitive hai. Kotak Securities ka kehna hai ki jab tak Strait of Hormuz ka situation hai, Rupee par pressure rahega. Agar Brent crude $125/bbl ke upar raha toh Rupee 96 se 97 tak ja sakta hai. Agar oil prices kam nahi hui toh 94.80 se neeche jana mushkil hoga.
