Stocks to buy or sell: Osho Krishan of Angel One suggests buying HCL Tech, Gail shares today
The Nifty 50 was down 0.13% to reach 25,106 . 45, while the Sensex slipped 0.18% to 82,365.17 by 9:57 IST. The broader small-cap stocks gained 0.2%, whereas mid-cap stocks remained unchanged.
US President Donald Trump announced that a framework regarding tariff rates had been established in order to revive the fragile trade truce with China. While this announcement boosted investor optimism, the absence of detailed information kept the markets uneasy.
At the same time, Iran indicated that it would target US bases in the Middle East if nuclear negotiations collapse and conflict with Washington erupts, intensifying geopolitical worries.
On the technical front, Osho Krishan of Angel One, recommends HCL Technologies Ltd, and Gail (India) Ltd. Krishan advises to chasing momentum and suggest entering on dips while booking profits at higher levels. Here's what he says about the overall market.
The prevailing market structure has remained consistent, as evidenced by the emergence of a third consecutive narrow-range candlestick with a small body on the daily chart for the benchmark index. The smoothed Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently positioned around 75, indicating that the market is situated in an overbought territory. Despite the underlying bullish sentiment, there is a significant absence of robust follow-through.
The recent trading range of 25,050–25,250 broadly marks a key zone of 25,000–25,300, where the lower end aligns with the bullish gap support and the upper end coincides with the crucial 78.6% retracement, making this zone pivotal for the weekly expiry. Hence, we continue to advise against chasing momentum and suggest entering on dips while booking profits at higher levels.
While the index remains within a defined range, thematic plays are beginning to gain traction. Our positive outlook on the IT sector is reaffirmed, as the Nifty IT index has surpassed its recent swing high, establishing a classic "Higher Top Higher Bottom" formation. This suggests the potential for outperformance in this sector. Furthermore, Oil and Gas stocks are experiencing significant breakouts, and we expect that strength in this sector will persist in the near term.
On stocks to buy on Thursday, Osho Krishan of Angel One recommended two stocks - HCL Technologies Ltd, and Gail (India) Ltd.
HCL Technologies share price has observed substantial buying activity in recent sessions, having surpassed key short-term EMAs on the daily chart and exceeded the 200-DSMA after an extended period of stagnation. This recent price performance is supported by increasing trading volumes and positive crossovers of the EMAs, which contribute to a bullish sentiment. Furthermore, from a risk-reward perspective, the stock is favorably positioned and appears poised to sustain its upward trajectory in the near term.
Hence, we recommend buying HCL Technologies share price around ₹ 1,710-1,700, keeping a stop loss of ₹ 1,640 for a potential upside Target of ₹ 1,780-1,810.
Gail share price has demonstrated a notable increase, supported by substantial trading volumes during the previous session, thereby exceeding the 200 DSMA. The stock has also surpassed its prior swing highs, and the recent positive crossover of the 21-DEMA over the 200 DSMA suggests a favorable short-term outlook. Moreover, the alignment of the 14-period momentum indicator further reinforces the bullish sentiment regarding the stock.
Hence, we recommend buying Gail share price around ₹ 198-195, keeping a stop loss of ₹ 187 for a potential upside Target of ₹ 212-216.

Farm groups urge government to exclude all aspects of agriculture from the India-US trade deal
NEW DELHI: As India-US trade talks enter final stage, a network of farmer organisations has written to Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal, urging him to exclude all aspects of agriculture from the trade deal with the US to protect the interests of Indian farmers, ensuring the country's food sovereignty and security, and safeguarding the vitality of India's rural economy. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Allowing heavily subsidized US imports into India would undermine our long-standing position at the World Trade Organization (WTO) against these very subsidies. More critically, it could flood our markets with cheap, subsidized products, destabilizing domestic prices and severely harming our farmers,' said the Indian Coordination Committee of Farmers Movements (ICCFM), including various factions of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) of different states, in its letter to Goyal on late Tuesday. The letter, signed by general secretary of the ICCFM and BKU Yudhvir Singh and national spokesperson of the BKU Rakesh Tikait, flagged how any deal granting duty-free or low tariff access to the US agricultural products will negatively impact India farmers who produce maize, soybean, pulses, cotton and fruits & nuts. Similarly, it also underlined the impact of such trade deals on the Indian dairy sector and cited a recent report by the SBI that cautioned that the opening of India's dairy sector to the US imports could result in an annual loss of more than Rs 1 lakh crore to dairy farmers. The farm network also flagged the threat of transgenic produce, pointing out that much of the American agricultural produces are transgenic and import of any such products into India - be it corn, soy, canola, cotton or apples - would be unacceptable due to biosafety concerns. 'If the Indian government moves forward with trade deals that overlook critical issues affecting our farmers, movements like ours will be compelled to intensify our protests against such anti-farmer policies,' said the farmer representatives.

Trump hints at Indonesia-style trade pact with India; experts warn of one-sided terms
US President Donald Trump has said that the proposed trade deal with India would be on the lines of what America has finalised with Indonesia on Tuesday. Under the US-Indonesia trade pact, the Southeast Asian nation will provide complete access to its market to US products, while Indonesian goods would attract a 19 per cent duty in America.

Later, while talking to reporters, Trump said: "India is basically working along that same line. We are going to have access into India. You have to understand, we had no access to any of these countries. Our people couldn't go in, and now we are getting access because of what we are doing with the tariffs…' The Indian team is in Washington for the fifth round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA). Live Events Commenting on Trump's remarks, economic think tank GTRI said if India were to accept such a "lopsided" arrangement, it could expose its domestic sectors, especially dairy and agriculture, to duty-free US goods while gaining little in return. "A bad deal, especially one that removes India's tariffs without reciprocal benefits, could be worse than no deal at all," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said, adding India must therefore negotiate transparently, guard against one-sided outcomes, and not succumb to pressure for quick, symbolic agreements that compromise long-term economic interests. The visit of Indian commerce ministry team to Washington is important as both sides have to iron out issues in sectors, like agriculture and automobiles. It is also important as the US has further postponed the imposition of additional tariffs on several countries, including India, until August 1. India has hardened its position on the US demand for duty concessions on agri and dairy products. New Delhi has, so far, not given any duty concessions to any of its trading partners in a free trade agreement in the dairy sector. India is seeking the removal of this additional tariff (26 per cent). It is also seeking the easing of tariffs on steel and aluminium (50 per cent) and the auto (25 per cent) sectors. Against these, India has reserved its right under the WTO (World Trade Organization) norms to impose retaliatory duties. US President Donald Trump announced heavy tariffs on a number of countries, including India, on April 2. However, the imposition was postponed for 90 days until July 9 and later to August 1. The US wants duty concessions on certain industrial goods, automobiles, especially electric vehicles, wines, petrochemical products, and agri goods, like dairy items, apples, tree nuts, and genetically modified crops. On the other hand, India is seeking duty concessions for labour-intensive sectors, such as textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, garments, plastics, chemicals, shrimp, oil seeds, grapes, and bananas in the proposed trade pact. The two countries are looking to conclude talks for the first tranche of the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by fall (September-October) this year. Before that, they are looking for an interim trade pact. India's merchandise exports to the US rose 21.78 per cent to USD 17.25 billion in April-May this fiscal year, while imports rose 25.8 per cent to USD 8.87 billion.

France has rejected joining the plan because of French President Emmanuel Macron's efforts for European nations to strengthen their own defense industries by buying domestically produced arms, as reported by Kyiv Independent. While France is also facing issues with budgets and increasing defense spending targets amid broader economic pressures, according to the report. Even Italy has taken a similar stance, as Italian officials dismissed directly buying US weapons because of fiscal limitations and the country's focus on different technological systems, such as the Italian-French-made SAMP/T air defense system already supplied to Ukraine, as reported by Kyiv Independent.

Italy is also considering a NATO request to support the logistical transport of US-supplied weapons to Ukraine, whether by air, rail, or sea, and has indicated that it will not "shy away" from contributing, according to the Kyiv Independent report. Poland Says Make Russia Pay, Not European Taxpayers While Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has pointed out that the cost of arming Ukraine should not fall on European taxpayers but be covered by Russia's frozen assets instead, as per the report. Sikorski said that, "I asked my fellow foreign ministers: Who should pay for American equipment? Should it be European taxpayers, or, in my opinion, should the aggressor pay for it using its frozen funds?" as quoted by the Polish Press Agency. Germany Takes the Lead and Brings Donald Trump Onboard Rutte revealed that Germany is "massively" invested in the new arms plan, and also said that Trump's support came after extensive coordination with Berlin, as per Kyiv Independent report. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pointed out that the new initiative serves Europe's own interests and increases pressure on Russia to negotiate peace, according to the report. While Trump recently said that additional deliveries of Patriot air defense missiles and other weapons are already underway, as reported by Kyiv Independent.

President Macron wants European nations to strengthen their manufacturing of weapons and reduce dependency on outside suppliers, including the US, as per the Kyiv Independent report. Does this mean France and Italy are against NATO's mission in Ukraine? No. Both countries remain committed to NATO and Ukraine's defense. They're just choosing different ways to help — like supporting logistics or using European-made weapons.
