Finding value in a rising market environment

Brexit, US presidential elections, demonetization, none of these events—perceived as negative shocks—could keep the domestic equity markets down for a long time. After falling around 1,000 points (or roughly 11%) from a peak of 8950 in September 2016, the benchmark Nifty 50 is back up to 8650 or thereabouts—rallying nearly 10% in two months.
