      I am expecting a further upside for the Nifty during this budget period and as well as if you look at the sectors, banking, especially private and PSU banking, and if you look at the metal stocks and metal sector has declined reasonably and has bounced back from the lower levels, fertilisers and even other sectors like PSU banking, like capital goods are likely to be in the limelight in the near term.

      3 top stock recommendations from CA Rudramurthy BV

      Let us see how even budget comes out and then take aggressive position. So, for sure, this is not the time to take aggressive position, not to be in high beta and one has to have reduced leverage and risk management will hold the key if you are a very short-term trader.

      This fund manager thinks it is the right time to bet on consumption theme. Here’s why

      The common theme is these are all branded goods and services that consumers are either consuming today or want to consume.

      2 top stock recommendations from Rahul Sharma

      I think it is more of a traders market where stock specific bets do well. Today, we are seeing very good movement happening in metals and mining. Yesterday, it was banks.

      PSU banks still remain top bet in financial space: Rahul Shah

      I think the mood is very positive. Obviously, as you rightly said, a lot of people missed out last Tuesday when we saw the sell-off in the markets and obviously, so I think luckily most of them are still holding on to their positions and not sold it and they are just riding it.

      Sandip Agarwal's 4 top bets from IT sector for near term

      ​I think now the attrition rates are under control. Margin should expand because margin is a direct factor of where your attrition is, utilisation is.

      Hemang Jani's top stock bet from pharma sector

      But nonetheless, I think even when it has not performed so much, I think if somebody has to put fresh money, I think it surely makes a lot of sense given the performance, valuation comfort, I do not see much of a challenge over there. And recently, the fact bond yields went down when you had that big dividend payout, I think there was a bit of an outperformance. So, I think you could look for some more outperformance at least over the next 6 to 12 months.

Mehta also says: "If the government comes back with a stable majority, then the best stocks to buy would be the defence stocks, PSUs. It could be PSU banks or the PSU engineering companies."

      Thinking to bet on FMCG? Look at these sectors instead, says Ajay Bagga

      “The resurgence in certain sectors remains uncertain—possibly defensive moves rather than re-rating. Monsoon's impact, expected by October, will clarify. Domestic cyclicals like auto, infra, and financials seem preferable to FMCG, though valuation and monsoon effects will drive investor behavior.”
