Best stocks to buy today, 23 July, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
A day after ending with decent gains, the Indian stock market resumed its downward march on Tuesday, amid weak global cues. The market benchmarks ended flat with a negative bias. The Sensex slipped 14 points to close at 82,186.81, while the Nifty 50 settled at 25,060.90, down 30 points, or 0.12%. The mid and small-cap segments underperformed. The BSE Midcap index lost 0.62%, while the Smallcap index dropped 0.17% Here are three stocks to buy or sell as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for Wednesday, 23 July NYKAA (Cmp 220.03) ESCORTS (Cmp 3443.60) TATACHEM (Cmp 962.65) Stock Market Recap Indian benchmark indices opened positively on Tuesday, supported by robust Q1 earnings from leading private banks and Eternal (Zomato). The Nifty commenced trade at 25,166.65, briefly maintaining momentum before dipping to an intraday low of 25,035.55. Meanwhile, Sensex began at 82,527.43 and fluctuated between 82,538.17 and 82,110.63, marginally above its previous close of 82,200.34. Initial optimism was tempered by global uncertainties, with traders adopting a cautious stance ahead of the August 1 deadline for a potential U.S. trade agreement. Despite early gains, both indices traded flat through most of the session, reflecting market hesitancy. The broader sentiment remains optimistic, driven by strong domestic earnings, although global cues are prompting short-term caution. Analysts continue to watch for developments in the trade deal and commentary from central banks, which may offer directional clarity in the coming sessions. Outlook for Trading Nifty has been weak, and the sustained bearish pressure seen on every rally indicates that it is inclined for some downward bias as the trends are unable to head higher. While sector rotation is happening, we are reaching a point where the indices have become divergent. HDFC Bank has been under a great deal of stress, and despite some decent numbers, the stock could not impact the market condition. As we have been discussing, the trends were expected to head into the upper end of the value resistance zone as the indicators were tiring out. The rise witnessed in Bank Nifty is seen struggling as the attempt to hold on is seen fizzling out, as bearish pressure is emerging at higher levels. Currently, due to a lack of triggers, we are witnessing a range of actions that could keep the trends from recovering swiftly. A look at Bank Nifty indicates that until 56000 is given away, till then bulls will attempt to rebound. Bank Nifty is a sector that should be tracked. Until 57500 is exceeded we could look at stock specific action where there are divergent views been displayed across all the component stocks. PSU Banks are having it rough and the erratic vibes being exhibited shall make it difficult for the Bank Nifty to recover. This in turn will spill over to the other sectors like Auto, Realty and Finance. Despite marketson Monday showing some prowess of a recovery the inability of Bank Nifty to clear the 57500 mark seems limited ahead of the event. Till then this index holds the key for some trends to emerge. Meanwhile the current scenario has . Now, we need to see Nifty move above 25100 which is the immediate resistance for some bullish revival as well as the max pain point that will continue to halt any progress. With the Open Interest data clearly indicating a hurdles at higher levels one should keep tracking a 30-minute range breakout on Wednesday above this level for creating some long. As indices are not showing much declines one should look to participate in some stock specific action. Raja Venkatraman is co-founder, NeoTrader.

Indian Overseas Bank's Hong Kong branch fined ₹9cr
Indian Overseas Bank (Image only for representation) CHENNAI: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has imposed a penalty of HK$8.5 million (Rs 9.3 crore) on Indian Overseas Bank, Hong Kong branch (IOBHK) for contraventions of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing ordinance (AMLO). It has pulled up the lender for "significant failure" to mitigate risks. Apart from IOB, the authority has levied penalties against the Bank of Communications (Hong Kong) and Bank of Communications Co. Hong Kong branch for HK$ 4 million and HK$ 3.7 million, respectively. A senior IOB official told TOI that there was no fraud or any anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism violations. It pertains to issues over handling alerts generated by the software, which the bank is addressing by putting additional checks in place. "IOBHK has no history of disciplinary record regarding AMLO. It was only a matter of putting procedures in place," the official said. The development follows an investigation by the HKMA, in which the authority has charged that IOBHK has contravened three specified provisions of AMLO between May 2021 and Jan 2024. "IOBHK's management oversight of anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) controls was inadequate. The senior management did not have a clear leadership role and responsibility over AML/CFT matters. They did not adequately discuss key AML/CFT control issues at relevant committee meetings and failed to appoint a competent person with sufficient AML/CFT knowledge as the Compliance Officer. As a result, the transaction alerts generated by IOBHK's transaction monitoring system were not properly followed up," the HKMA statement said. IOB in a statement to the exchange said "The bank and its branch operating at Hong Kong have taken necessary preventive actions to avoid such recurrence in future and further strengthen its internal processes in this regard. The impact of the said action on the bank is not material." Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays . AI Masterclass for Students.
