Best stock recommendations today: MarketSmith India's top picks for 1 August
On Thursday, the Nifty 50 declined 0.35% amid heightened volatility, weighed down by renewed foreign institutional selling and global trade uncertainties. Market sentiment took a hit following US President Donald Trump's unexpected threat of a 25% tariff on Indian imports, which pressured export-oriented sectors. Despite mild intraday recovery attempts, broader market weakness and persistent global headwinds kept the index in the red, particularly on the day of the weekly derivatives expiry. Two stock recommendations by MarketSmith India: Hindustan Unilever Ltd (current price: ₹2,521.20) Why it's recommended: Rural demand recovery and volume-led sales, preimmunized brand portfolio, strategic investment, and corporate restructuring. Key metrics: P/E: 55.69 | 52-week high: ₹ 3,035 | Volume: ₹1,382 crore Technical analysis: Trending above all its key moving averages, momentum improvement. Risk factors: Elevated input cost and its pressure on margin, sluggish urban consumption, and execution risk around demerger. Buy: ₹2,450-2,500 Target price: ₹3,000 in two to three months Stop loss: ₹2,350 Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (current price: ₹1,259) Why it's recommended: Strong revenue and volume momentum, double-digit growth in Africa and the Middle East, and margin recovery. Key metrics: P/E: 65.30 | 52-week high: ₹1,541 | Volume: ₹200 crore Technical analysis: Rebound from 100-week moving average Risk factors: Volatile commodity prices, soft urban demand. Buy at: ₹1,220-1,250 Target price: ₹1,515 in two to three months Stop loss: ₹1,170 How Nifty 50 performed on 31 July On Thursday, the Nifty 50 opened with a gap-down and witnessed a highly volatile session on account of the weekly derivatives expiry. Although the index recovered from intraday lows and briefly turned positive, it failed to sustain higher levels and slipped back into negative territory during the final hour of trade. Barring Nifty FMCG, all major sectoral indices and broader market indices ended in the red. Market breadth weakened notably, with the advance-decline ratio settling at 1:2, indicating broad-based weakness. From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50 remains below its 50-DMA, underscoring a sustained negative bias in the trend. The relative strength index (RSI) is sloping downward and currently hovers around 40, indicating weakening momentum. Additionally, the MACD continues to trade below its signal line and the central line, maintaining a negative crossover. This confluence of indicators suggests a cautious near-term outlook, with limited signs of immediate reversal unless key resistance levels are reclaimed. According to O'Neil's methodology of market direction, the market status has been downgraded to an "Uptrend Under Pressure" as the Nifty breached its 50-DMA and the distribution day count rose to five. The index witnessed another session of volatility on Thursday, facing stiff resistance near 25,000 and ultimately ending with a negative bias. The index struggled to sustain intraday gains, reflecting broader market weakness and cautious investor sentiment. Looking ahead, 24,600-24,480 remains a critical support area that may help contain further downside. On the upside, a decisive breakout above 25,000, followed by 25,300, will be essential to revive bullish momentum in the near term. How Nifty Bank performed yesterday On Thursday, Bank Nifty opened with a gap-down and witnessed high intraday volatility, oscillating within a broad range of 55,547-56,406 before settling with a loss of 0.34%. Both private and PSU Banking segments experienced choppy trading. However, the PSU Banking index underperformed and contributed more significantly to the downside. Similarly, the FINNIFTY index ended 0.20% lower, reflecting broader weakness in the financial space amid subdued investor sentiment. Technically, the index remains below its 50-DMA, reinforcing a weak short-term structure. The relative strength index (RSI) continues to trend with a negative bias and is currently positioned around 42, reflecting subdued momentum. Additionally, the MACD sustains its negative crossover and continues to trade below the signal line, indicating that any potential upside may remain limited. Overall, the technical setup points to a cautious outlook, with the index lacking strong directional conviction in the near term. Despite this, according to O'Neil's methodology of market direction, Bank Nifty remains in a 'Confirmed Uptrend,' a status it has maintained consistently over the past several weeks. On Thursday, Bank Nifty declined to 55,500. However, it managed a partial intraday recovery before closing on a negative note. Moving ahead, 55,500 remains a crucial support level, and a decisive breach below it could trigger further downside pressure. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen around 56,500. A breakout above or breakdown below this defined range is likely to set the next directional move for the index, making these levels critical to watch in the coming sessions.

Designing With Scent: How To Style Spaces Using Fragrance As A Décor Element
Whether you lean toward elegant diffuser blends or prefer plug-ins that quietly work behind the scenes, styling with scent is the secret sauce of interior design In interior styling, it's often the visual elements, colour palettes, furniture choices, lighting, and art that take center stage. But there's another, more subtle player that completes the sensory story of a space: fragrance. The right scent doesn't just freshen a room; it defines its personality, anchors memories, and sets the emotional tone for everyone who enters. 'Fragrance, to me, is as much a part of styling a space as picking the right lighting or art," says Arushi Agrawal, Founder & Director, Seva Home. 'It's not something you notice first but it lingers, it defines how the space feels." Curate Fragrance Like You Curate Design Much like textiles or textures, fragrance can reflect your overall design aesthetic from rich, earthy tones to clean and minimal palettes. Agrawal recommends thinking of scent as both sensory and visual: 'A sculptural candle is both a source of fragrance and a design element. It fills the room with scent while also adding visual character, much like a carefully chosen ceramic vase or a textured rug." Choosing the right fragrance device, whether a candle, diffuser, or plug-in can be just as intentional as choosing a light fixture. For traditional interiors, think warm, spice-infused scents housed in brass or wood-finished vessels. For contemporary homes, clean citrus or airy floral notes in monochrome or glass containers keep the vibe minimal and modern. Fragrance isn't just about smelling good, it's about aligning scent with the function and flow of the room. 'When styling a space, it's important to pair fragrance with purpose," says Agrawal. 'A calming lavender for winding down, or a citrus note to refresh a space before guests arrive… It's about creating an experience that engages more than just the eyes. That's what I love most fragrance gives your home a personality, without saying a word." Devices that Blend In, Not Stand Out For some, air fragrance devices are an afterthought something tucked away and forgotten. But brands like Godrej Aer are reimagining fragrance delivery as a design-friendly experience. 'For many consumers, air fragrances are the final step in home care, the finishing touch that enhances a freshly cleaned space," shares Vinit Mhamunkar, Head, Industrial Design at Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. 'While some may seek bold devices, we've found that most prefer formats that blend effortlessly into their décor." That design philosophy is visible in Godrej Aer's popular offerings like Aer Matic and Aer Plug, which are created not just for functionality but also for visual harmony. 'Each device is crafted to feel intuitive and inviting from their soft, simple curved forms to the calming colours and finishes that suit modern interiors," explains Mhamunkar. 'Whether it's a discreet wall-mounted spray or a compact plug-in, we design for delight ensuring every interaction, from refilling to fragrance diffusion, feels effortless." What's more, every scent released by Godrej Aer undergoes extensive user validation, ensuring it resonates with different moods and room types. The Invisible Layer of Home Styling Fragrance may be invisible, but its impact is anything but. When chosen thoughtfully, it becomes a seamless part of your home's design vocabulary, setting the scene, softening the mood, and elevating the everyday. Whether you lean toward elegant diffuser blends or prefer plug-ins that quietly work behind the scenes, styling with scent is the secret sauce of interior design – subtle, emotional, and transformative. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Godrej Consumer Products aims to scale liquid detergent brand Godrej Fab over 2-fold to hit Rs 500 cr revenue in FY26
FMCG firm Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) is aiming to scale its liquid detergent business Godrej Fab over two-fold and hit an annual revenue of Rs 500 crore in FY26, said its Managing Director and CEO Sudhir Sitapati. Besides, it is also working to deepen its rural presence, premiumise portfolio in household insecticides and other segments, and to build out its new pet care business , said the latest annual report of the company. The Godrej Industries Group 's FMCG arm, which entered into the fast-growing liquid detergent segment almost a year ago, has "seen strong early success, and now the goal is to unlock the next level of growth", said Sitapati in the report. "Another key bet is scaling Godrej Fab - our liquid detergent - to Rs 500 crore. This will require sharper distribution, increased trials and more targeted communication," he said. In just over a year, Godrej Fab has hit Rs 250 crore in annualised revenue run-rate (ARR), which is a "big win" for GCPL, which entered into main wash detergents, with this brand. "This will likely be a multi-year growth engine and help us build leadership in a large, under-penetrated category," he said. According to Sitapati, FMCG, especially home and personal care (HPC), still has significant runway for volume-led growth. Despite recent macro headwinds, the long-term fundamentals remain strong. Terming FY25 as "a year of learning - and some unlearning", Sitapti said in India, GCPL delivered 5 per cent volume growth, which was below expectations, largely due to a sharper-than-anticipated consumption slowdown in the second half. While discussing GCPL's focus in FY26, he said it is betting on products that can drive scale, margin, and future readiness. "One of our top priorities is reshaping the deodorants category . We believe the current MRP and channel architecture in India is structurally broken. Our approach will be to rewire the price-pack-channel configuration, introduce more relevant innovation and invest in building brand equity instead of discount-driven sales," said Sitapati. Moreover, GCPL which nearly gets around 40 per cent of its revenue from foreign markets, has also plans to take Indian innovations to global markets. "Aer, Goodknight Liquid Vapourisers and our shampoo hair colour formats are scaling well internationally. We're now designing products with global scale in mind from the start - this unlocks synergies and improves return on innovation," he said. Over Godrej Ninja, through which GCPL recently entered into the pet food segment, Sitapati said it has plans to expand the business. "After launching in Tamil Nadu, the next phase will be about refining the model, expanding into new states, and shaping the category through purposeful brand building," he said. By combining expertise of its group firm Godrej Agrovet in animal nutrition with its marketing and innovation capabilities, GCPL aims to address the nutritional needs of Indian pets and establish a trusted brand in the pet care industry, he said. "This initiative aligns with our long-term vision to tap into high-growth, future-forward categories. GCPL remains the complete owner of the business and the brand," Sitapati added. Over its rural expansion , Sitapati said it is expanding Project Vistaar to over 6 lakh rural outlets. "This will deepen rural reach and help us build penetration in our core categories. This is not just a distribution push - it is an investment in long-term demand creation," he said. About Park Avenue and Kamasutra, a business which GCPL acquired two years before from Raymond Consumer Care, Sitapati said these "are categories of the future - deodorants, perfumes and sexual wellness". Fiscal year 2025 was GCPL's first full year of integration, and it made progress, but faced challenges also. "We entered the year with the ambition to grow this business by 20-25 per cent. We closed the year closer to 10 per cent. This shortfall was shaped by structural realities - these categories are still dominated by wholesale trade, deep discounting and fragmented channels," he said. GCPL has taken "decisive steps in the right direction" by rationalising the revenue base by 20 per cent from Rs 622 crore to Rs 500 crore, and significantly increased ATL (above the line marketing) spends from Rs 35 crore to over Rs 100 crore.
