CA Rudramurthy BV suggests a cautious, sector-specific approach; 5 insurance & defence stocks to bet on

CA Rudramurthy BV suggests closely watching Bank Nifty and Nifty closing values. Crude oil and dollar-rupee movements are also important indicators.

Defence sector stocks, specifically Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are favorable picks.
