Nifty Targets 28,800 on 26,300 Break; CLSA Bullish on Mid-Caps, Gold

  • CLSA's Laurence Balanco predicts Nifty could reach 28,800 if it decisively breaks above 26,300, following a consolidation phase.
  • Balanco expresses stronger conviction in mid-caps, expecting over 30% upside if the midcap space breaks above the 62,000 area.
  • He forecasts a 'boom-bust structure' for Asian markets in 2026, with North Asian tech leading initially, then India regaining momentum in H2.
  • Bullish on commodities, Balanco expects base metals like aluminium ($3,500) and copper (>$16,000) to continue rallying, and remains positive on gold.
  • Balanco anticipates US markets, particularly the S&P 500, to underperform in 2026 and believes the US dollar has entered a multi-year bear market.

Why It Matters: CLSA's Balanco sees significant upside for Nifty and mid-caps, a commodity boom, and a weakening US dollar.
