Some of the most established brands in the banking sector are wallowing at 52 week lows, prompting buying at these levels. SBI, ICICI, PNB, BoB and Bank of India are some of the lenders showing a sharp correction in price over the last 5 sessions.
Federal Bank dipped to its lowest level in 13 months after hitting a high of 79.80 rupees earlier this month as investors worried about the rising incidence of non-performing assets in the sector, pressed the sell button.
But some buying is seen at present levels, pushing the bank higher.
Federal Bank rose 0.30 rupees, or 0.5 percent, to 59.65 rupees on the National Stock Exchange, where 19 lakh shares were traded compared with a 5-day average of 48.9 lakh shares.
