ETMarkets Investors’ Guide: Has the super cycle in metal sector ended? | The Economic Times Podcast

After a rebound in the market, benchmark indices have inched closer to all time high levels again. During this rally, along with IT stocks, banking and metal names also stole limelight.

Banking stocks have seen buying following a tepid year. Meanwhile, metals gained traction despite Jefferies analysts saying the best days for the steel sector may have ended in 2021.

ETMarkets’ Shubham Raj caught up with Santosh Kumar Singh, Head of Research at Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company to understand why Jefferies may be wrong about the sector. Besides, he also talked about prospects of banking stocks and budget expectations.
