Analysts expect Friday’s 685-point rally to continue in the short-term, led by festival demand, Q2 results, and the positive trend of the global market. “Buying at a dip is the best strategy in this scenario, with a focus on domestic economy-oriented stocks and sectors. The sectors which are expected to outperform are IT, pharma, FMCG, durables, green initiatives, specialty chemicals, and mass manufacturers with value buying as the theme,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at

In the week ahead, Q2 results are likely to dictate stock- specific movements even as the domestic indices are likely to dance to global cues.

“Nifty in 17,000 & Sensex in 57,300-500 range is a good level to start investing. Staggered investments will take care of the volatility,” said Sumit Chanda, CEO & Founder of AI-based investment advisory platform JARVIS Invest.
