Nagaraj Shetti suggests Alkyl Amines, Star Health shares to buy in the short term; do you own?
Stock market today: Indian stock markets reduced their initial declines on Thursday as investors perceived the US threat of a 25% tariff and unspecified penalties, set to take effect on August 1, more as a bargaining strategy than a definitive action. As of 11:40 IST, the Nifty 50 was down 0.26% at 24,791.45 points, while the BSE Sensex fell 0.28% to 81,259.37. Both indices had dropped approximately 0.9% during early trading. Following the tariff announcement, President Donald Trump indicated that the US is still in trade negotiations with India. The proposed 25% tariff on Indian imports, along with a penalty related to energy and defense agreements with Russia, poses a clear short-term threat to exports and GDP growth, according to three analysts. As per Nagaraj Shetti from HDFC Securities, any additional decline in the Nifty 50 may encounter significant support between the 24,600 and 24,500 levels in the upcoming sessions. Shetti recommends two stocks to buy in the short-term. Here's what Shetti says about the overall market. After showing a narrow range movement on Wednesday, Nifty 50 slipped into sharp weakness on Thursday on the backdrop of US President Trump's announcement of 25% tariff and penalty on the trade deal with India and the Nifty 50 is now trading lower by 100 amidst recovery from the lows. The recent bullish pattern like bullish engulfing is still intact and Nifty 50 seems to have taken support of 24,600 for the short-term. Further weakness from here could find strong support around 24,600-24,500 levels in the coming sessions. Immediate hurdle to be watched around 24,900. Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities recommends these two stocks to buy in the short-term - Alkyl Amines Chemicals Ltd, and Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Ltd. After showing a reasonable downward correction in last week, the stock price has witnessed sharp upmove so far this week. The stock price has broken above the hurdle of down sloping trend line at ₹ 2,250 and is trading higher. Volume and RSI pattern shows positive indication. The range bound movement of the last few weeks seems to be ending now for this health insurance stock. The stock is currently placed at the edge of upside breakout of 200day EMA at ₹ 448-450 levels. Bullish pattern like higher highs and lows is intact. Daily RSI shows positive indication. Disclaimer: The views and recommendations given in this article are those of individual analysts.

IT, Metal, Realty Stocks Slide Up To 4% Amid Trump Tariff Shock, Fed Decision
Indian equities witnessed a sharp selloff on Wednesday, July 31, with stocks in the IT, metal, and realty sectors falling over 1% each Indian equities witnessed a sharp selloff on Wednesday, July 31, with stocks in the IT, metal, and realty sectors falling over 1% each in early trade. The broader indices mirrored the weakness—Sensex declined 460 points to hover around 81,022, while Nifty dropped 141 points to 24,714. The decline came amid a double whammy of geopolitical and macroeconomic developments. Investor sentiment was hit after US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, announced a sweeping 25% tariff and additional penalties on Indian imports. While calling India a 'friend," he criticized New Delhi for maintaining some of the 'highest tariffs in the world" and penalized it for continuing trade ties with Russia, particularly in the defence and energy sectors. The timing of the move—just ahead of the August 1 trade framework rollout—has added to concerns about deteriorating bilateral ties. The Nifty IT index fell 1% to 35,161, snapping a two-day winning streak. Major laggards included Coforge and Wipro, both down nearly 2%, while Infosys, Mphasis, and Tata Consultancy Services slipped over 1% each. Persistent Systems, Tech Mahindra, and HCL Tech also traded lower. Bhavik Joshi, Business Head at INVasset PMS, noted that IT stocks remain under pressure due to continued demand uncertainty. 'The recent wave of layoffs and hiring freezes signals that the demand environment is still weak. Budget cuts and delayed decision-making by global clients are adding to the drag. A second-half recovery now appears more delayed than previously hoped," he said. Metal Stocks in the Red The Nifty Metal index also lost nearly 1%, falling to 9,331. Hindustan Copper was the top loser, tumbling over 4% to ₹247. Adani Enterprises declined nearly 1.5% ahead of its Q1 FY26 earnings release. Other notable losers included NMDC, Jindal Steel & Power, Hindustan Zinc, and Welspun Corp, each down more than 1%. Stocks such as Vedanta, Hindalco, Tata Steel, and SAIL traded with marginal losses. Joshi noted that while metals are currently under pressure due to tariff-related concerns, the broader setup remains potentially favourable. 'With global stimulus chatter gaining pace and inventories remaining low, we could see a sharp reversal once the trade uncertainty clears," he added. Nifty Realty also dropped over 1% to trade around 907, marking its second straight day of losses. Sobha led the fall with a 2.1% drop, followed by Oberoi Realty, Phoenix Mills, and Raymond, each slipping nearly 2%. Prestige Estates and Anant Raj fell over 1%, while DLF and Brigade Enterprises were marginally lower. Despite the weakness, Joshi remains optimistic about the sector's outlook. 'Real estate is quietly gaining traction. Rising institutional interest, strong pre-sales, and improving rental yields indicate there is real demand in the premium residential and commercial segments, not just speculation," he said. Analysts suggest traders maintain a cautious stance amid the volatility. 'Given the heightened uncertainty and mixed technical signals, traders should adopt a 'sell-on-rise' approach and manage risk through tight trailing stop losses. Only initiate fresh long positions if Nifty sustains above the 25,000 mark," said Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Equity Broking. Meanwhile, Utsav Verma, Head of Research – Institutional Equities at Choice Broking, said there is still room for optimism. 'We believe the tariff rate may eventually settle around 15%, which would restore investor confidence and pave the way for stronger trade ties. In the short term, markets may remain rangebound but are likely to stay earnings-focused rather than reacting with panic."
