Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Securities, s of the view that volatility in markets because of geopolitical issues linked to Russia and Ukraine should not last long. "Chances of a major flare-up look small while sanctions on Russia are expected not to be as strong as the ones against Iran, as no one wants crude prices to stay at elevated levels on the back of already high inflation," said Kulkarni.
He believes markets below 17000 offer a good risk-reward tradeoff. "One should use this correction to gradually increase equity exposure by investing in quality companies," he added.
Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo, too sees opportunity for long-term investors, however, warns short term investors of high volatility in March due to events like geopolitical uncertainty, results of state elections, US Fed meeting, etc.
"The overall trend is bullish but we may have high volatility over the next month. Therefore, short-term traders should remain light, while long-term investors should look at this correction as a buying opportunity," he said.
He said investors look for buying opportunities in capital goods, infrastructure, real estate, banking, consumer goods and auto ancillaries.
IIFL Director Sanjiv Bhasin too was optimistic n the Indian market and was of the view that the last straw in the uncertainty has already been pulled. "Because of the closing of the US markets, the futures market had gone down. Indian Market should reach its bottom by tomorrow. India is still in a very sweet spot," Bhasin told Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi.
