Stocks to buy: HDFC AMC to SBIN – Motilal Oswal bets on these three shares for this week | Stock Market News

Stocks to buy: Indian stock market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, declined by more than one percent each. The Sensex ended the day down by 931 points, or 1.15%, closing at 80,220.72, while the Nifty 50 fell by 309 points, or 1.25%, to finish at 24,472.10.

The mid and small-cap sectors of the market experienced even greater declines. The BSE Midcap index fell by 2.52 percent, while the Smallcap index plummeted by 3.81 percent.

““Domestic benchmark indices opened flat, reflecting global cues. As a result, the Nifty opened flat to positive, but the index then experienced severe selling pressure and concluded the day on a negative note at 24,472. The volatility index, INDIA VIX, rose 4.21% to 14.34, indicating an increase in market volatility.

On the daily chart, Nifty formed a bearish candle and broke the critical neckline of the head and shoulder pattern, confirming further weakness. The index is currently placed near 100-Days Exponential Moving Average (100-DEMA) support which is placed near 24485. If Nifty sustains below 24,440, then the index could drift toward the 24,200-24,000 levels. On the upside, the previous support level of 24,700 will now act as an immediate resistance for the index,” said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd.

On the Bank Nifty outlook, Yedve added, “Bank Nifty began positively, but experienced profit booking after an initial rise, closing lower at 51,257. Technically, on a daily scale, the index formed a bearish candle, indicating weakness. On the downside, the 100-Days Exponential Moving Average (100-DEMA) support is positioned near 51,100, with last week’s low near 51,000. Thus, 51,000-51,100 will offers good support for Bank Nifty in short term. A sustained break below 51,000 could trigger further downside momentum, potentially leading to a more pronounced decline in Bank Nifty.”

Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal has recommended these three stocks – HDFC AMC, State Bank of India and National Alum – to buy this week with decent upside potential.
