The week gone by was highly volatile, with Nifty gaining 2.2% or 490 points in four sessions and hitting a lifetime high of 23,000. The week was also in the news for block deals involving over three dozen companies from large, mid and smallcap segments worth Rs 13,059 crore on screen.
Abhijit Chokshi from Stockifi.in recommends Aarti Pharmaceuticals in midcaps for caffeine APIs. Also bullish on PSU banks like SBI, PNB, rural plays like Dabur, and sectors like power, ports, and shipping.
While the near term could see volatility coming from global geopolitical tensions, higher for longer interest rates and coming Lok Sabha elections, investors are expecting double-digit returns in the next 2-3 years.
