SPX is down 6.07% from Sep whereas Nifty is only down 0.74%. If the coupling still exists and we think of US markets as the mother market - then further pain awaits Indian indices.
There are 2 factors which could play spoilsport 1. Rising oil prices - going to cost dearly as we are a net oil importer 2. Rising dollar index - this will push down the INR much further
If India finds a way to buy oil in rupees - problem solved.
Nifty50 cannot remain elevated for so long if the global markets are falling. Remember - when the rise is higher, the fall will be higher.
Or are the investors gung-ho on India's growth story?
