Dutta told CNBC-TV18, "I would be negative on metals at the moment. This is a commodity driven thing. For oil, there is still some room here to be positive at the moment. My best pick in the oil sector in the sense of a safe pick, would be Reliance Industries which has done fairly well today and may be Cairn . But if one wants to take a risk I would go for the completely busted PSU refiners and OMCs because they are ones in worst shape and hence the ones that would gain the most from a continued drop in crude. I would be long on oil."
He further added, " ONGC has room to go up from these levels as well. I would be long on ONGC."
