What happened
The Sensex and Nifty 50 reached their 32-month and 18-month lows, respectively, on October 8, 2026. Despite these declines, Chris Wood, Head of Equities at Jefferies, stated in the Asia Maxim report that the Indian economy has performed well despite global and domestic challenges. Wood also predicted a near-term bottom for the Indian Rupee due to the generation of $144 billion through FCNR bonds.

Why it matters
Jefferies believes the structural growth story in India remains intact, even as benchmark indices face pressure. Wood justified the Reserve Bank of India's 25 basis point Repo Rate hike and noted that smaller stocks have outperformed larger caps this year, despite higher valuations in the mid-cap segment.
