The global stock market rally continues unabated with the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500, and the pan European Stoxx 600 again setting new record highs. It looks like markets are currently ignoring valuation concerns. The fact that 583 stocks, mostly mid and small-caps were locked in the upper circuit yesterday is an indication of the frenzied retail activity in markets. These are warning signals to investors. However, the news from the inflation front is positive with June CPI coming at 6.26% against an expectation of 6.5%. This gives room for the RBI to continue on the accommodative mode further strengthening the bulls. While remaining invested in high-quality stocks investors should be careful regarding investments in small-caps, according to market analysts.
