Kotak Securities Expert Picks Three Stocks for Short-Term Gains
The Indian stock market fell after the Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates.
A Kotak Securities analyst said the market could remain weak unless it rises above an important level.
He also suggested three shares that he thinks could rise over the next one or two weeks.
Those shares are IndiGo, Union Bank of India and Sona BLW Precision Forgings.
He gave a possible target price for each share.
He also gave a lower price where traders might consider leaving their trades if the shares fall.
These are the analyst’s views, not guaranteed outcomes.
Amol Athawale of Kotak Securities recommended three stocks for a one-to-two-week trading horizon.
His picks were InterGlobe Aviation, Union Bank of India and Sona BLW Precision Forgings.
