The Nifty 50 has been experiencing a time correction for the past 20 months, trading within a narrow range. This has frustrated investors, but the market is expected to return to its normal course in due time. The prolonged stagnation can be seen as an opportunity cost, as alternative investments could have earned a risk-free 6-7% return. However, the time correction has resulted in more comfortable valuations, with earnings improving and inflation showing signs of easing. Major central banks have also paused rate hikes. Overall, investors should remain patient and unaffected by the time correction.
