The webinar was driven by our honorable speaker, Mr. Rakesh Nair describing and explaining the details and theories behind the market movements and the potential market structures. A Q&A session was organized where students of St. Xavier's University posted their queries regarding different aspects of stock market such as derivative market, Fibonacci retracement level indicator, under and overvaluation, etc. Each and every query was answered separately and in detail. The webinar was interactive which was beneficial for all the attendees to understand the concepts and get their queries addressed.

The conclusion derived from the session was that the growth of the economy both in terms of GDP and the capital market was delayed and not halted altogether because of the pandemic. The companies held up their money and delayed their investment plans in the beginning of the pandemic which led to recession in the economy and a crash in the market. Now as the world is beginning to adapt to Covid and the new normal as we call it, with the vaccination drives coming up, companies and investors are expected to redeploy their strategies which will surely lead the economy to the path of recovery.
