Appreciate the heads up—I didn’t see this anywhere on the front pages I usually check.
Hoping for some LTCG tax relief to offset FII outflows and the ongoing nap taken by mid, small, and the rest of the caps.
it’s unlikely this time to get tax relief but on the other hand govt. does not want market to be down so can’t say what happens. my guess is stct could be reduced to match ltcg even that’d be good news. lets see what happens.
My view is that over the last two to three years, the market has seen an unusually large number of new company listings. This has led to a situation where there are simply too many stocks competing for a limited pool of buyers. As a result, investor attention and capital have become increasingly fragmented.
At the same time, rising commodity prices and the sharp run-up in gold ETFs, as reflected in AMFI data, suggest that a significant portion of investor money has shifted to alternative assets. In this environment, interest in mid-cap and small-cap stocks has dried up—not necessarily because these companies are fundamentally weak, but because there aren’t enough buying activity to push up the bid price.
In my opinion, this is more a demand-side issue than a quality issue. Investor interest and sentiment has moved elsewhere. A temporary relief or rollback in long-term capital gains (LTCG) taxation could act as a catalyst in such a scenario. It may encourage investors to reconsider allocations to mid- and small-cap stocks, revive participation, and help restore balance to this segment of the market.
