"There are still some uncertainties about the global markets, but there are some pockets that may continue to outperform. Investors are advised to stay invested in quality stocks while the current rally is an opportunity to exit stocks that have fundamental concerns," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart. Meena is bullish on corporate facing banks, capital goods, infrastructure and housing sector.
