ETMarkets Investors’ Guide: Stocks & sectors to avoid in a volatile market? | The Economic Times Podcast

Last week was a reminder of how risky investing in smallcaps can be in a declining market. While Nifty fell just 0.73 per cent in five days, Nifty Smallcap 100 slipped over 3 per cent. The rising India VIX levels are also a sign of increasing nervousness among traders, particularly after the Fed policy outcome.

So in today’s special podcast with independent market expert Rajiv Nagpal, let us try to understand which pockets of the market you should avoid at this point.

Listen in.

Welcome to the show Mr Nagpal.

1) Do you think that the market will be more volatile and more unpredictable in the coming days, especially after the Fed meet?

2) At an index level, do you think the best part of the rally is over now?

3) Which sectors do you think traders should avoid at this point and why? Is buying metal stocks a strict no?

4) Capital rotation has been quite evident in the last few months. Can you share some strategies on how to identify the sectoral trend early?

Thank you Mr Nagpal. That’s all in today’s special podcast but keep checking this space for more such interesting content. Good bye!
