Trading Calls: Buy Karnataka Bank, PTC, L&T Finance, Say Experts

Indian stock markets edged higher on Thursday, tracking higher Asian markets. The Sensex gained over 100 points while Nifty was firm above 9,150. Asian shares edged up to near their highest in two years on Thursday, while the dollar benefited from waning expectations that the European Central Bank was poised to end its easy policy. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 0.2 per cent higher in early trade, pushing against its loftiest levels since June 2015.  Some analysts say that with as long as Nifty holds 9,000 levels, it could rise to 9500 levels.  Meanwhile, NDTV Profit spoke to a few analysts who shared their trading picks.
