In the last few days, globally markets are correcting

New Delhi, Dec 4 A predictable market trend is that high valuations will lead to corrections. The unpredictable part is the timing and the trigger for the correction.

Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

BSE Sensex is up 447 points at 71,803 points on Thursday. NTPC is up 4 per cent, Bajaj Finance is up more than 3 per cent. Indusind Bank and Tata Motors are up more than 2 per cent.
