QUICK THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE TRADING ON THURSDAY
According to analysts, markets are currently valued at premium levels, and ongoing support from foreign investors has helped domestic stocks rise slightly. “Amid conflicting global cues, markets made a remarkable recovery and rose more than 2.5 percent. Markets have decisively moved upward since the recent decline, but continued growth would require sustainability. Ahead domestic data like core sector and auto sales numbers will be monitored for cues even though the global cues are still inconsistent. We advise keeping a bullish but cautious attitude and advise favouring long positions in top-performing industries like banking, financials, auto, FMCG, and real estate, according to Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking.
