Stock picks for Monday

The market has come under pressure and slipped some more to end in negative territory.

Capital goods, consumer durables, FMCG, pharma, IT and PSUs all came under pressure to end on a negative note while it was the Banking sector which just about finished positive. Volume registered a decrease (read as turnover) while the undertone was shaky.
