with the Greece issue appearing as barely a blip on the Indian market's radar, it has appeared to have turned on the upward course.
"The very short-term call is difficult to make, but the bias is on the long side," Nirmal Bang's Mehraboon Irani told CNBC-TV18's Sonia Shenoy and Anuj Singhal. "9,000 looks like a possibility."
Irani said that a month ago, the consensus was negative and the market was oversold. "There were concerns about the Federal Reserve rate hike, monsoons and lack of room for rate cuts in India. All three concerns seem to have abated."
While maintaining that the rate cycle appeared headed down, macros were improving and reforms appeared to be slowly but surely working, Irani however marked out legislative progress as a risk. "The Parliament session could be a washout."
India remains in a long-term bull market, he said, adding that the trade remains simple: "When the consensus turns negative, go in and buy high quality stocks."
In the same interview, Taher Badshah of Motilal Oswal AMC and Mithil Pradhan of Violet Arc Global Managers discussed stock and sector strategies.
