ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY

Singhvi suggests a 'buy on dips' strategy and adds that only closing levels below 19,300 and 44,600 in the Nifty and the Nifty Bank should be considered a sign of weakness.

He expects strength in banking and NBFC stocks owing to HDFC Bank results and the proposed demerger of Jio Financial. One can use earnings to seek buying opportunities in IT stocks, he adds.
