Professional Tips for Tomorrow’s Opening
- Watch Global Cues: Keep an eye on the US markets tonight. If the US indices continue to fall, we might see a gap-down opening on Wednesday.
- Keep Cash Ready: Use this holiday to analyze the “Top Losers” of yesterday. Stocks like Maruti and Asian Paints are near strong support levels and might offer a “Buy the Dip” opportunity once the oil price stabilizes.
