Maruti, HDFC Bank M M among 10 stocks that analysts say can offer good returns in next 2-3 weeks

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
NEW DELHI: There seems to be no Monday blues for Indian equities as positive global sentiment played ball. Asian shares reached near their
nine-month highs on renewed hopes of US-China trade talks after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's positive comments
Besides, strong Chinese export data soothed concerns of an economic slowdown to an extent
However, the small range of gains reflected a cautious undercurrent in the market due to election politics and the ongoing fourth-quarter
earnings
Around 9:35 am, the BSE Sensex was 50 points, or 0.13 per cent, up at 38,816, while the Nifty was higher 21 points, or 0.18 per cent, up at
11,664
Analysts are of the view that one should follow a stock-specific approach in such a market
Based on some analysts' recommendations, below are 10 stocks that can give solid returns in coming 2-3 weeks

been stagnant and consolidating around Rs 620

Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in Ashok Leyland| Buy| Target price: Rs 107|
Stop loss: Rs 90This counter appears to have resumed its upmove after retracing 62 per cent of its last leg of rally from the lows of Rs
77–95 levels
As momentum in this counter is picking up with a close above its interim swing high of Rs 95, it can ideally head to test its 200-day moving
average, placed around Rs 107

moving almost flat for the last 9 sessions - in a narrow range of Rs 408–399
