Nifty bulls may raise a toast in June quarter

Nifty bulls may raise a toast in June quarter 


             The new financial year has begun on a good note for domestic equities as benchmark indices gained in 7 of the 8 trading sessions in the ongoing quarter, on the back of consistent buying by foreign institutional investors.

          “The markets might be inching up but it is time to be cautious. There is still more pain to come and this is not the time to be aggressive with equity allocation,” Chanda said.
