Ten stock ideas for next 15-20 trading sessions from Experts


The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty gained a percentage point last week on fresh buying mainly in banking sector buoyed by the passage of Bankruptcy Bill by the government in Parliament despite rise in inflation. On Monday (May 16), the 30-share index gained further 164 points to close at 25,653.23 as investors ignored a spurt in wholesale inflation as well as forecast of a monsoon delay and went for value-buying in FMCG and IT stocks. The NSE Nifty ended 45.85 points or 0.59 per cent higher at 7,860.75.

Market experts are bullish on Indian equity markets. Global brokerage major HSBC has upgraded Indian equity markets to ‘neutral’, saying ‘green shoots’ are emerging and has increased its Sensex target for the year to 26,000 from 25,000.

Karthik Rangappa, VP, education services, Zerodha, said, “We continue to maintain a bullish on the market. The earning season is holding up and there are no major negative sentiments with regard to corporate earnings. We expect this sentiment to carry forward over the next few weeks and therefore expect markets to move at least 50 points beyond 8,000. On the downside, we expect the immediate support at 7,750 to hold over the next few trading sessions.”
