7.8% GDP is good news but why skyrocketing KOSPI, Nikkei, Taiwan remain a major concern for Sensex, Nifty | Explained | Stock Market News
India’s economy grew 7.8% in the April-June quarter, but the stock market isn’t celebrating. Nifty is down 8.6% and Sensex over 10% this year, while Asian peers like KOSPI, Nikkei and Taiwan jumped 25-60% on AI-chip buying. Crude oil above $90 and a likely profit-booking in AI stocks worry experts. For investors, this means GDP and markets don’t always move together.
