What should investors do now?
The market movement is likely to remain positive in the coming weeks as most of the managers are of the view that the index will register its new high. However, the market will be keeping an eye on two important policy announcements by RBI and US Fed Reserve. Apart from this, it remains to be seen how the monsoon progresses. Pravesh Gaur, senior technical analyst at Swastik Investmart, said that this time the monsoon has been delayed by 10 to 13 days, which has increased the concern.
Some other stocks which have given more than 25 per cent returns in the last week are also included in this list. For example, the shares of Kisan Molding have increased by 40 per cent.
