Experts sayings:
Anu Jain, Vice President - IIFL Private Wealth Management, India Infoline.Stirlite Industries has target of Rs 720, says "I think it’s just a trend for the day and apart from that the fact that Sterlite is on support level, so on Friday it had shown that it is probably testing the support but with the news given today I think there will be added bonus to it. So at about Rs 678 where it closed, I am sure it is going to open a percent or two higher but with a stop loss of about Rs 665, Rs 720 looks possible as a swing target.”
Siddharth Bhamre, Angel Broking says, "Overall our view on Nifty is bearish and positionally metals also were bearish but since market is going to consolidate for a couple of days according to us, I feel Sterlite is near its very good support of Rs 620. Today you might see on some dips probably to Rs 615-617 levels and some sort of short covering would take place."
