Stocks in focus: From Asian Paints to Titan – Motilal Oswal recommends three shares to buy this week | Stock Market News

Indian stock market: Indian shares experienced significant volatility in Wednesday’s trading session. The Nifty 50 index dropped by 0.50%, falling below the 25,000 mark to end at 24,915 points. Similarly, the S&P BSE Sensex decreased by 0.53%, closing at 81,485 points.

“Volatility marked the trading session with intense profit-taking in late trades dragging key indices deeper in red and pulling down Nifty below the 25k mark at close. Slowdown fears in China coupled with falling crude oil prices has been causing jitters amongst the investors. All eyes will be on key US inflation data on Friday that will give some hint about the Federal Reserve’s likely move on interest rates in its policy meeting later this month. Technically, if Nifty slips below the 24753 mark, the downside risk is seen at 24441 mark, while the index could only face resistance above its all-time-high at 25333.65 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
