These 7 banking stocks can give more than 23% return in 1 year, according to analysts

This is not the first time that derivatives are playing havoc with the banking system or a particular bank. Looking back at 2008-09, while the issue was not exactly the same, derivative instruments had created problems for some banks and corporations. Despite the hue and cry this time, it appears to be a one-off issue which will be taken care of. When it comes to the banking sector, there are, at this juncture, just two things investors need to look at. One, what is the NPA situation? Second, what are the indications in terms of the cost of deposits? If these two things turn out to be fine (and we should get clarity on this in the coming weeks), then probably the bulls will get some fire power.
