The Indian market has been on a losing streak since last week thanks to lingering concerns over inflation, rate hikes, slowing global economic growth and geopolitical tensions.
Domestic market benchmarks the Sensex and the Nifty50 have been underperforming their major global peers this year so far.
Equity benchmark the Sensex fell by almost a percent intraday on February 27 as investors' sentiment remains shattered.
While analysts are upbeat about the long-term prospects of the Indian market, they believe the market may remain volatile in the short term as long as uncertainty on the trend of inflation and rate hikes persist.
Analysts underscore a prudent investor needs to focus on a stock-specific strategy in this market to minimise losses and maximise their gains.
