Here's how Anil Singhvi views global markets

The market wizard expects new highs to emerge on Wall Street, with the tech stocks-heavy Nasdaq Composite expected to outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average blue-chip index. The US market may stage big moves on the upside on any sign of a reduction in benchmark interest rates, he says.

Singhvi also expects an end to global political uncertainties during the course of the year.

He believes crude oil prices to ease to as low as $55 per barrel and expects levels to the tune of 39,000-40,000 to emerge in the Dow Jones gauge. He views geopolitical tensions and higher-for-longer interest rates as unknown and known risks to the upside, respectively.
