Bank of America has revealed its year-end price target for India's Nifty index, forecasting that it will reach 20,500 points by December 2023. The Nifty 50 benchmark index is composed of the market capitalization-weighted average of 50 of the largest Indian companies. The Wall Street bank's price target points towards a 4.5% upside from its current level of 19,625. Bank of America (BofA) said the change in outlook from its U.S. economics team was a key driver behind this prediction. The Wall Street bank said the Indian lender's asset quality remains robust and margins have experienced only minor declines despite higher funding costs.
