Sensex Today Trades Flat | Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motors Up 2% | IndusInd Bank & Infosys Top Losers

Asian shares markets are trading higher today after a renewed rally in tech giants pushed Wall Street indices higher ahead of jobs data due Friday as investors assess the likelihood of the Federal Reserve pausing interest rate hikes in June.

The Nikkei is trading higher by 1% and the Hang Seng index is trading higher 3.7%. The Shanghai Composite is up 0.8%.

US stock indices closed up on Thursday as signs of slowing wage pressure on inflation raised hopes that the Federal Reserve will pause raising interest rates in two weeks. Additionally, investors welcomed a vote in Congress to suspend the US debt ceiling.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.5% higher and the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.3%.

Here's a table showing how US stocks performed on Thursday:

Speaking of stocks markets, 2022 was a big speed breaker for BAAP (buy at any price) and growth at any price investors.

With the cheap money out of the picture, a lot of high-flying stocks saw the wind beneath their sails disappear. However, the sentiments are shifting again.

From a big sell off in March this year, the smallcaps stocks have rebounded. The smallcap index is now flirting with all-time highs.

For individual smallcaps, the upswing has been even higher. You see, that's the nature of smallcaps. When sentiments are adverse, they take the hardest knock. When markets are upbeat, a slightest nudge could send them soaring. It's good to see smallcaps rallying.

But this comes with a sense of caution as markets are cyclical. And there may be a point when the valuations run ahead of fundamentals. How close or far are we to that point?

Smallcap analyst, Richa Agarwal answers the question in the below video.

Earning consistent returns in a volatile market

2022 was a wild turbulent, and volatile year for the stock market. During these tough times, a smart man is the one who managed to earn consistent returns and not just some windfall gains.

Unless a brutal bear market scares you out of your systematic monthly investments, they are one of the most effective ways to benefit from the long term stock market growth story.

Let us consider a systematic investment plan of Rs 1,000 every month into the Sensex between 2011 and March 2020 i.e., you start on 31 December 2010 and end on 31 March 2020.

December 2010 was a bull market top as the Sensex never closed the year higher two years prior to it and till three years later.

Likewise, March 2020 can be considered as a bear market bottom because that was the time the market crashed on account of the pandemic.

Thus, when it comes to timing, you were investing at a bull market top and exiting at a bear market bottom, the worst case scenario possible.

So, what was the performance like?

Well, not so great to be honest. You would have earned an annual return of 6.6% on your investments. Throw in a couple of percentage points of dividends and the returns climb to around 8%.

However, this is India, and 8% annual returns doesn't quite cut it.

There is a silver lining though. Had you persisted for another 15-18 months, your returns would have climbed to an impressive 14.4%. Throw in dividends and you get a respectable 16%-17%.

Here's how your journey would have progressed.
