Commenting on the ongoing fall in the domestic equity market, HDFC Securities said, тАЬMarkets have kept falling due to a combination of global and local factors and going by the current tailwinds, the end to this phase does not seem to be near in terms of time or value. Cessation of hostilities in Europe and signal from global Central banks that they are done with rate hikes could create the background for bottom formation provided by that time the world is not facing recessionary conditions.тАЭ
