Indian shares bounced back into the green on Tuesday, recoiling from its 2% losses registered on Monday. However, market pared early gains too quickly without providing any relief to sentiments. Nonetheless, experts feel that investors are not in panic state; on the contrary, they're looking out for stock specific opportunities to invest.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Nirmal Jain, chairman of IIFL said that India remains a great market for stock-pickers as it is likely to stabilise and find support at 5-7% downside from current levels.
Talking about Monday's deep cuts, he said, "Market was holding up in face of adverse news and Mauritius issue was just an excuse for sell-off."
According to him, the market is cautious due to investment slowdown and commodity prices. Though Jain feels that market volumes have fallen 25% compared to last quarter, he is against selling any business in the company and points out that it's time to strengthen the equity team.
