Kranthi Bathini, Equity Strategist at Wealth Mills Securities, to talk about the market's recent moves and what lies ahead.
Excerpts:
Q. Let us start with what happened in the markets this week. Sensex and Nifty both saw quite a few ups and downs this week. What happened in the markets?
Kranthi Bathini: Sensex and Nifty experienced volatility, with Nifty touching a low of 23,600 before recovering to 24,250. Profit booking and short covering dominated the week, closing Nifty slightly below 24,000. Mixed global signals and upcoming events like Q3 earnings and the Union Budget (Feb 1) will influence market direction.
Q. Which stocks or sectors do you think could be beneficial for investors for this year as well as the long term?
Kranthi Bathini: Sure. The following are some sectors that can be in focus for 2025.
Banking & Financial Services: Banking and financial services stocks are in a consolidation phase, making them attractive for medium to long-term investors due to favorable valuations. A surprise rate cut could further boost this sector. With growth recovery and sustained momentum, these stocks are poised for gains.
