According to strategists led by Michael Hartnett, respondents to the January poll were "a lot less bearish" than they were in the fourth quarter, which caused investors to switch their investments from US, European, and pharmaceutical stocks to cyclical stocks, emerging markets, and other regions. Investors' net underweighting of US equities during the first month of 2023 "collapsed," they claimed, surpassing even the UK's 15%. 

  • Sensex, Nifty trade marginally higher on gains in IT stocks
