Dilip Bhat, Joint MD, Prabhudas Lilladher said it is unlikely that the Indian equity market will decouple from the international markets and events because in the last two years US market aided Indian market despite not so good corporate earnings from Indian companies.

However, volatility is here to stay for some time because there are too many moving parts – US bond market, oil prices etc but one can still gradually buy into the market. From next 8-10 it is very likely that Nifty could touch 11,500-12,000 then overall, there is still good money to make in the market, said Bhat.
