These 6 bank stocks can give over 18% returns:
The nifty bank has witnessed a minor bounce back. A part of that bounce back happened due to short covering in private banking space, another one is due to continued rise of the PSU space. What needs to be watched is whether any negative is able to have a strong impact on private bank space, if not then probably a comeback would soon be on cards. For contrarian and short term traders it is time to put the whole banking space on the watchlist.
There are phases in the market when bank and IT stocks tend to move in opposite directions. But this time, it is the banking space which itself is witnessing contra moves. The private banking space is coming under pressure and PSU banks are doing well.
