Are select metals prices indicating China’s economic revival? 5 metal stocks with upside potential of up t
Few days back, there was a sudden spurt in oil prices, though they might have cooled down a bit. The question is why this sudden spurt when there has not been any rise in tension in the Middle east and it is not even the peak season where demand for heating oil could have led to sudden rise. Now combine this with price trends in some non ferrous metals like copper which have inched upward to form a one year high. While to some it might appear far-fetched at this point of time as there have been many false starts, are the commodity markets giving an indication that finally there are some green shoots in the Chinese economy? The risk is the US election result. Will the election results help in resolving the trade issue or continuation of the issues ? Key Points

Economic TimesTo take care of possible headwinds: 4 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up t
Market has a strange habit of giving surprises on both sides, moving up when no one is expecting and news is bad all around. Falling when no one is expecting it to fall and there is good news all around. So, in today’s time when there is good news all around, right from higher GDP numbers to better GST collections and on micro front companies announcing more orders and even words like expansion of capacity coming back, instead of predicting the time when there will be a correction, just be ready for it. Ready by staying with large caps and that too with sectors and stocks where some tailwinds are emerging. This is not to say that there cannot be some underperformance in large cap space, but the fact is that over the long term these large caps not only create much more wealth but in a bearish phase, they tend to protect the wealth by falling less as compared to mid and small caps.
