Web Exclusive: Is it time to sell banking stocks?

Check out the F&O strategies for banking, pharma and other frontline stocks.

Interest rate sensitive stocks, especially the banking pack, got a good drubbing on Tuesday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept rates steady. Check out the F&O strategies for banking, pharma and other frontline stocks.


Smartinvestor : It has been yet another listless opening for the markets today. How long will this continue and what are the key Nifty levels that you are keeping a tab on?

We advise traders having a bullish view on the market to exit all long positions and re-enter only above 5680 levels.
