Trading Guide:
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, believes that the current bull market is resilient, despite headwinds slowly gathering momentum. “FIIs (foreign institutional investor)are consistently being outsmarted by DIIs (Domestic institutional investors) and retail investors. Every time US bond yields go up, particularly when the 10-year yield rises above 4.5 percent ,the FIIs sell. But the DII-plus-retail buying has been completely overwhelming the FII selling, forcing the FIIs to buy the same stocks they sold earlier at higher prices later,” he said.
Market experts have recommended six stocks to buy today – Jindal Steel and Power, Aegis Logistics Ltd, Union Bank, Torrent Power, Indian Oil Corporation and UltraTech Cement
