Home equities are trying good in the meanwhile supported by beneficial global cues, stated Binod Modi, Head-Strategy at Reliance Securities.
“Heavy-weight financials are expected to do well within the backdrop of report of Internal Working Group of RBI suggesting various changes including greater promoters’ ownership and issuing universal banking license to large conglomerates and NBFCs.
“However, recent spike in COVID-19 cases in a number of states and evening curfews imposed in select cities might be limiting any sharp upmove,” he stated.
