Anil Singhvi on stock market recovery

According to Anil Singhvi, this stock market crash has not been caused by an economic crisis. It has been caused by a health crisis. When there is an economic crisis, the government chips in by enhancing liquidity, curtailing interest rates, etc. But, in the case of such a health crisis, when around 200 countries have got hit by Coronavirus pandemic, recruiters are forced to ask their workers to sit at home or 'follow work from home' routine rather coming out of one's home. In fact, there is a complete lockdown kind of situation and Anil Singhvi says that it will take time to come out of this crisis. He is advising investors that they should not show any kind of a hurry because all types of market sentiment indicators are negative. On the bailout package announced by the US and some other countries set to follow suit in this regard, Singhvi is quite clear that it won't be enough to combat the Coronavirus-hit stock market.

Singhvi is of the opinion that the next 15 days are very crucial as India has entered into the third stage of Corovaris - there are 13 days left in the month of March. He said that one should ensure the safety of one's money in this Coronavirus hit stock market rather than making money. In fact, a penny saved is a penny earned in such a free-falling stock market. So, the next 9 trade sessions are crucial for stock market investors as from 1st April, there can be some recovery expected, said Singhvi.

Advising to adopt #FasnaNahiHai strategy, Singhvi said that in the next trading sessions to come in March 2020, the market would lure investors with hopes of a bounceback. However, Singhvi said 'Fasna Nahi Hai'! Why? The market is slowly and steadily reaching the oversold condition. He strictly advised investors to avoid taking any short-position in the markets. In fact, for those who have a buying position, Singhvi advised them to book profit on every rise of 5-7 per cent.
