MarketSmith India's best stock recommendations for today, 16 July
On Tuesday, 15 July, the Nifty 50 gained 0.45% supported by a sharp drop in retail inflation to 2.10% in June—the lowest since January 2019—and raising hopes for potential rate cuts. Positive global cues and optimism around renewed US-India trade discussions further bolstered sentiment. Technically, the index triggered fresh buying interest and helped reverse Monday's losses. Gains were broad-based, with support from auto, FMCG, and banking stocks, indicating renewed investor confidence amid improving macro and trade developments. Here are two stock recommendations by MarketSmith India for 16 July: Buy: Hero MotoCorp (Current price: ₹4,454) Buy: Aeroflex Industries Ltd (Current price: ₹214.83) How the Nifty 50 performed on 15 July On Tuesday, the benchmark Nifty 50 index reversed its recent corrective trend, finding support near 25,000. After a flat opening, the index maintained a positive trajectory throughout the session and formed a bullish candlestick on the daily chart with a 'higher-high and higher-low' price structure. Gains were broad-based, with all sectoral indices and broader market segments closing in the green. The rally was primarily driven by banking/financials, auto, pharma, FMCG, and realty stocks. As a result, market breadth improved significantly, with the advance-decline ratio settling at 2:1. Despite Tuesday's recovery, the Nifty 50 continued to trade below its 21-DMA, suggesting near-term caution. On the daily timeframe, the relative strength index (RSI) has turned upward and is now approaching 51, indicating a mild improvement in momentum. However, the daily MACD continues to trend with a negative crossover above the zero line, reflecting the absence of strong bullish confirmation. According to O'Neil's methodology of market direction, Nifty reclaimed its recent high of 25,116. Hence, the market status has been upgraded to a 'Confirmed Uptrend' as of 11 June. On the downside, 25,000-24,900 remains a critical support area. For the Nifty to regain bullish momentum, a decisive breakout and sustained close above 25,300 is essential. Sustained trading above 25,300 could potentially open the path toward the 25,600-25,700 resistance zone in the coming sessions. How did Nifty Bank perform On Tuesday, the Nifty Bank index resumed its upward trajectory, gaining approximately 0.43% and forming a bullish candlestick on the daily chart. The index reclaimed 57,000, recovering from recent declines. The positive momentum was primarily driven by heavyweight constituents such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and State Bank of India, while Kotak Bank and Axis Bank ended the session in negative territory. A sustained move above the critical 57,000 level could strengthen the bullish bias and potentially drive the Nifty Bank index towards 57,200, with an extended upside target near 57,500 in the near term. However, failure to hold above 57,000 may lead to a volatile trend. On the downside, strong support is expected around 56,600-56,500, which may act as a cushion against short-term declines. The FINNIFTY index also reflected signs of recovery, closing with a 0.47% gain, supported by renewed buying interest across key financial stocks. The index found support near its 21-DMA and regained bullish momentum, reflecting a potential shift in short-term sentiment. On the daily chart, the relative strength index (RSI) has turned upward, indicating improving momentum. However, the MACD continues to display a negative crossover, albeit trending above the zero line, suggesting that a clear bullish confirmation is yet to emerge. As per O'Neil's methodology of market direction, Bank Nifty remains a 'Confirmed Uptrend', a trend it has sustained over the past few weeks.

Stocks to buy today: Trade Brains Portal recommends two stocks for 16 July
Stock Market Today: Indian equities rebounded strongly on Tuesday, 15 July, snapping a four-day losing streak as broad-based buying lifted benchmark indices. The Sensex rose 317 points to close at 82,570.91, while the Nifty 50 gained 114 points, or 0.45%, to end at 25,195.80. Mid- and small-cap stocks continued to outperform. The BSE Midcap index advanced 0.83%, while the Smallcap index added 0.95%. Against this backdrop, Trade Brains Portal has picked two stocks—one from the IT sector and another from the energy sector. Why it's recommended:Founded in 1995, Tanla Platforms Ltd. has been the top provider of Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) in India, accounting for around 35% of the market. It has led the way in mobile and digital communications innovations and is now the preferred partner for more than 2,500 businesses and their users in a variety of industries in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, including well-known international tech firms like Google, Meta, and Truecaller. They are still growing their presence in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, with India continuing to be their main focus market, which makes up over 95% of their business. In FY25, the company reported a 2.5% YoY increase in revenue to ₹ 4,028 crore, a gross profit of ₹ 1,051 crore, and margins of 26.1%. Ebitda was ₹ 691 crore for the entire year, with an Ebitda margin of 17.2%. The profit margin was 12.6%, with a profit after tax of ₹ 507 crore. The free cash flow was ₹ 514 crore, or 101% of profit after taxes, and the earnings per share were ₹ 37.76. In order to prevent scams on their messaging platform by detecting fraud phone numbers, the company signed agreements with one of the Global Tech Majors on Wisely ATP in Q1 FY25. The company launched Wisely ATP with another top Indian bank in Q2 FY25 and was the first to introduce and execute Call to Action (CTA) whitelisting on the Trubloq platform. The company was one of the top players in the world in Q3 of FY25, delivering one billion RCS business messages in a month. The company is the first to introduce and use PE/TM binding on the Trubloq platform later in Q3. Additionally, the company's subsidiary Karix has worked with a number of partners, including Makemytrip (MMT), Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), and Axis Bank, to digitise ticketing and enhance customer engagement in various services. The company continues to work with global Internet tech giants like Google and Meta to accelerate the adoption of OTT channels in India. In FY25, their OTT channel doubled in size, and almost one-third of their 400 new customers were on new OTT channels. Risk factors:Tanla is particularly exposed to the possibility of technical failure because it works in a rapidly evolving digital environment. Because of shifting market dynamics and advancements in communication technology, existing CPaaS solutions run the real danger of becoming less competitive over time. Tanla's reputation and clientele may suffer as a result of system malfunctions and potential hacks that steal confidential customer data. Why it's recommended: One of India's top City Gas Distribution (CGD) firms, Mahanagar Gas was founded in 1995 and serves a wide range of clientele in its operating Geographical Areas (GAs) by meeting their various needs. More than 2.83 million PNG households and 1.11 million CNG vehicle users are served by its infrastructure, which includes more than 7,460 km of pipeline and 385 CNG stations. MGL has played a key role in establishing gas infrastructure and encouraging gas use among a range of consumers throughout the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), including Mumbai, Urban Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, and others, for more than thirty years. Revenue for FY25 was ₹ 6,924 crore, up 10.87% from FY24's ₹ 6,245 crore, according to the company. Over the past four years, it has grown at a 34% CAGR. Ebitda was ₹ 1,510 crore, while gross profit was ₹ 2,466 crore. The gross margin was ₹ 16.51/SCM, which was more than the FY22 gross margin of ₹ 13.61/SCM. The average sales realization was ₹ 46.54/SCM, higher than FY21's ₹ 26.42/SCM. Over the past four years, PAT has grown at a 14% CAGR to reach ₹ 1,045 crore. As of FY25, ROE was 18.94%. The company wants to expand its customer base in all regions for both PNG and CNG. The market penetration of CNG will rise as more OEMs prepare to introduce CNG-based automobiles. The business intends to invest approximately ₹ 1,300 crore in FY26 and ₹ 150 crore in MGL's subsidiary, UEPL. Approximately ₹ 500 crore would be spent on PNG, including pipelines, and ₹ 300 crore will be spent on CNG. Within the next five years, 250 CNG filling stations and 180 km of steel pipeline are planned. In order to diversify into new markets or bolster its current ones, the company has made a number of acquisitions and partnerships and is growing into various energy-related subsegments. Risk factors: Delays caused by prolonged authorization procedures typically have an impact on the company's project implementation. The installation of CNG stations and an increase in pipeline infrastructure would be necessary to streamline the procedure. Also, exorbitant costs and a lack of available land make it difficult to establish new CNG stations in the company's operating areas. Indian equities opened on a strong note Tuesday, with the Nifty 50 beginning the day at 25,089.50—just 7 points above Monday's close of 25,082.30. The index hit an intraday high of 25,245.20 before settling at 25,195.80, up 113.50 points or 0.45%. On the technical front, the Nifty ended below its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) but remained above its 50-, 100-, and 200-day EMAs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 50.50, comfortably below the overbought zone of 70. The BSE Sensex followed a similar trajectory, opening at 82,233.16, peaking at 82,743.62, and closing at 82,570.91—up 317.45 points or 0.39%. Its RSI came in at 49.59. Like the Nifty, the Sensex closed below its 20-day EMA but held above the longer-term 50-, 100-, and 200-day EMAs. All major domestic indices ended in the green. The Nifty Auto Index led the sectoral rally, ending the day at 23,905.25, up 1.50% or 353.25 points. Stocks such as Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto, and Samvardhana Motherson gained over 2%. The Nifty Healthcare Index rose 179.95 points or 1.23% to close at 14,787.65, supported by strong gains in Sun Pharma, Fortis Healthcare, and Apollo Hospitals—all of which rose more than 2%. Biocon and Syngene were top performers, advancing 2.99% each. The Nifty Pharma Index also delivered solid gains, finishing at 22,665.70, up 255.35 points or 1.14%. Sun Pharma, Biocon, and Natco Pharma all gained over 2% during the session. A broadly bullish tone was seen across Asian markets: Hang Seng (Hong Kong): +386.80 points (1.60%) to 24,590.12; Kospi (South Korea): +13.25 points (0.41%) to 3,215.28; Nikkei 225 (Japan): +218.40 points (0.55%) to 39,678.02; Shanghai Composite (China): -14.65 points (-0.42%) to 3,505.00 By 4:55pm (India time), US markets appeared relatively flat in early futures trade, with Dow Jones Futures up 17.48 points or 0.04% at 44,471.16.

Three auto stocks to buy today—recommended by Ankush Bajaj for 16 July
On Tuesday, 15 July, the Indian stock market showed remarkable resilience as it clawed back intraday losses to close on a stronger note. Despite early weakness and broad-based volatility, the market gradually stabilized, buoyed by gains in defensive and auto sectors, reflecting selective buying and investor confidence in quality counters. The Nifty 50 closed at 25,195.80, trimming earlier losses and settling just 113.50 points or 0.45% lower. The BSE Sensex too recovered from deeper intraday cuts to end at 82,570.91, down 317.45 points or 0.39%, as investors rotated into stable and value-led stocks. The Bank Nifty also pared its earlier decline, closing at 57,006.65, down 241.30 points or 0.43%, with support emerging in select financial names. Here are three auto stocks to buy today, as recommended by Ankush Bajaj for 16 July. Buy: Hero MotoCorp Ltd (Current price: ₹4,454.00) Why Hero MotoCorp is recommended: Hero MotoCorp is showing a strong bullish setup with clear confirmation across major technical indicators. The stock has broken out from the upper channel of a falling wedge pattern on lower timeframes, which is a classic bullish reversal signal pointing to further upside. On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trading above 60, indicating healthy bullish momentum without being overbought—leaving room for the rally to extend. The breakout is supported by decisive price action and sustained buying interest, confirming that the stock is attracting fresh momentum traders. Hero MotoCorp is also holding firmly above key moving averages on both daily and lower timeframes, which reinforces the validity of this breakout. Given the strong technical setup and pattern confirmation, Hero MotoCorp remains a solid candidate for a short-term swing trade. Key metrics Technical analysis: The overall structure remains technically sound, backed by decisive price action and alignment with moving averages. The immediate upside target lies in the ₹4,580-4,600 zone as the breakout plays out. Traders can expect continuation towards this level if the broader market stays supportive and the stock holds above its near-term support levels Risk factors: A close below ₹4,395 would invalidate this breakout setup and indicate a potential short-term pullback. Any sudden reversal or sharp profit-booking near the breakout zone should be watched closely, and traders must maintain strict stop-loss discipline to protect gains. Buy at: ₹4,454.00 Target price: ₹4,580-4,600 Stop-loss: ₹4,395.00 Buy: TVS Motor Co. Ltd (Current price: ₹2,885.00) Why TVS Motor is recommended: TVS Motor is showing a strong bullish setup with confirmation across key technical indicators. On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is holding at 63, indicating healthy bullish momentum with more room for upside before hitting overbought levels. On lower timeframes, the stock has broken out of a well-formed triangle pattern, which is a classic continuation signal suggesting a fresh upward leg in the short term. The breakout is backed by strong price action and sustained buying interest, indicating that momentum traders are actively participating. The stock is trading firmly above key moving averages on both daily and intraday charts, reinforcing the strength of the breakout. Given the clear pattern breakout and supportive momentum indicators, TVS Motor remains a good candidate for a short-term swing trade targeting higher levels. Key metrics Technical analysis: The overall structure remains technically strong with decisive price action and alignment of moving averages supporting the move. The immediate upside target lies in the ₹2,955-2,960 zone as the stock continues its momentum-driven breakout. Traders can expect continuation towards this level if the broader market remains supportive and the stock stays above its near-term support levels. Risk factors: A close below ₹2,845 would invalidate this breakout setup and indicate a potential short-term pullback. Any sudden reversal or profit-booking near the target zone should be watched closely, and traders must maintain strict stop-loss discipline to protect gains. Buy at: ₹2,885.00 Target price: ₹2,955-2,960 Stop-loss: ₹2,845.00 Buy: Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd (Current price: ₹3,128.00) Why Mahindra and Mahindra is recommended: Mahindra and Mahindra is trading in a large consolidation range between ₹3,135 and ₹2,650, showing strong base-building activity over a significant time period. The stock is currently positioned near the higher end of this consolidation band, indicating potential for a breakout above the range. If the price sustains above the upper band, it is expected to trigger fresh buying interest and push the stock towards new highs. The consolidation structure provides a well-defined support and resistance zone, giving traders a clear breakout level to watch. The overall price action remains positive with the stock respecting key support levels and showing signs of accumulation. With the broader market supportive, M&M is well placed to break out of this multi-month range and target higher levels in the short term. Key metrics Technical analysis: The overall structure remains technically solid with a strong consolidation base and clear resistance at the upper band. A sustained move above the range should open the path to the next target zone near ₹3,230. Traders can expect momentum to pick up once the breakout is confirmed, with the stock likely to make new highs if near-term supports hold. Risk factors: A close below ₹3,082 would invalidate this breakout expectation and signal a potential failure of the range breakout. Any sudden reversal near the upper band should be watched closely, and traders must maintain strict stop-loss discipline to protect capital. Buy at: ₹3,128.00 Target price: ₹3,230.00 Stop loss: ₹3,082.00 Market wrap Sectorally, Tuesday turned out to be balanced as no major sector ended in the red. Instead, defensives and autos led the recovery with the auto sector surging 1.50%, healthcare climbing 1.23%, and pharma gaining 1.14%, providing much-needed support to the broader indices. Among standout performers, Hero MotoCorp rallied an impressive 4.76%, while Bajaj Auto and Sun Pharma advanced 2.76% and 2.67%, respectively, driven by sustained institutional demand and sectoral strength. On the flip side, select heavyweights continued to face profit-booking. HCLTech slipped 3.30%, Eternal dropped 1.53%, and SBI Life Insurance fell 1.43%, reflecting caution in high-beta and previously overbought counters Nifty technical analysis—daily and hourly The Nifty ended Tuesday's session on a mildly positive note, closing at 25,195.80, up by 113.50 points or about 0.45%. The index opened flat but staged a steady intraday recovery, pushing back above the psychological 25,200 mark. Despite this rebound, the index continues to hover below its key 20-day simple moving average (SMA) at 25,289 and remains sandwiched between the 20-DMA and the 40-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 25,029. This positioning suggests that while immediate downside momentum has paused, the broader structure is still under pressure and the bounce must sustain above the 20-DMA to shift the bias back to neutral. On the hourly chart, the index has reclaimed levels above its short-term 20-hour SMA at 25,139 but is yet to clear the 40-hour EMA at 25,252 decisively. This zone of 25,200–25,250 now acts as an immediate supply area. The fact that intraday rallies are still encountering overhead resistance implies that a firm close above the 40-HEMA and 20-DMA is required for bulls to regain control in the very near term. Momentum signals are currently mixed and reflect this indecision. On the daily timeframe, the RSI is at 50, marking a neutral zone with no clear directional bias. The daily MACD remains positive at +100, indicating that the broader medium-term trend has not turned outright negative. On the hourly timeframe, however, the RSI is also at 50 while the hourly MACD stays at -34, pointing to intraday hesitation despite the modest rebound. Options data shows a slight improvement in near-term sentiment but still carries an overall cautious undertone. Total Call Open Interest (OI) stands at 168.4 million while Put OI is at 127.8 million, leaving a net difference of about 40.6 million—maintaining a bearish slant. However, the intraday OI changes flip the tone, with Put OI rising by 29.3 million and Call OI falling by 13.5 million, resulting in a positive net OI change difference of 42.7 million. This shift shows fresh Put writing at support levels and some unwinding of Calls, hinting that traders are hedging less aggressively for further downside—a sign of short-term stabilisation. The maximum Call OI remains concentrated at the 26,000 strike, implying a strong resistance ceiling overhead, while the largest addition was at the 25,200 strike, underlining that this zone is now a near-term hurdle. On the downside, the maximum Put OI is still at the 25,000 strike with the highest Put additions also near 25,200, reinforcing this area as a key support to watch. India VIX fell 4.17% to 11.48, showing that the bounce was orderly and volatility remains contained for now. Meanwhile, the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.76, still below 1, which reflects an overall cautious stance among option writers but a slight improvement versus last session's readings. In summary, the short-term structure remains vulnerable to downside tests until the Nifty decisively closes above the 20-DMA (25,289) and the 40-HEMA (25,252). Any sustained move above these levels could trigger further short covering and push the index toward the upper end of the broken range near 25,350. Until then, the bounce is likely to face selling near resistance. On the lower side, 25,000 and 24,800 continue to act as crucial support levels—a break below these could open room for another leg down. Traders should watch for rejection or acceptance near the 25,250–25,300 zone and maintain strict stop-losses if attempting counter-trend trades. Ankush Bajaj is a Sebi-registered research analyst.
