Market Expert on Stock Market
Experts said that given global uncertainties and increasing market volatility, traders are advised to adopt a disciplined and selective strategy. It would be best to focus on stocks with strong fundamentals during a downturn. New long positions should only be created when the Nifty holds firmly above the 26,000 level, as crossing this level would signal a stable and meaningful market recovery.
