Indian markets continue to consolidate in a slender range. On Monday, the indices ended lower led by losses in index heavyweights ICICI Bank, ITC and Reliance Industries amid largely weak Asian markets. 

October’s retail inflation print eased to a three-month low in October but stayed above the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) comfort zone. Experts believe that investors should focus on stock-centric moves amid the ongoing volatility.

Yes Securities has recommended four stocks that it expects to deliver up to 29 per cent return over the next 12 months. Check out!

It believes that CCLP’s domestic business has been showing some signs of picking up with the introduction of new variants and aggressive marketing in southern markets of India.
