JioBlackRock CIO Predicts Indian Market Stabilization by March 2026 Amid US Tariff Tensions

Rishi Kohli, Chief Investment Officer of JioBlackRock Mutual Fund, forecasts a return to stability for Indian equities by March 2026 despite current volatility driven by US tariff tensions. "The turbulence may persist for several quarters, but fundamental and cyclical factors point to an upward trajectory thereafter," Kohli stated during a Friday briefing. Sectoral earnings remain uneven, though conditions are expected to improve within months.

The Jio Financial Services-BlackRock joint venture is carving its niche in India's competitive mutual fund landscape with the launch of its NSE 500-tracked Flexi Cap Fund. BlackRock's Systematic Active Equities (SAE) methodology will guide the fund's predominantly large-cap allocations, leveraging the global asset manager's four-decade expertise.
