JSW Infra to Lodha - Vinay Rajani of HDFC Sec suggests these stocks to buy in the near-term
Stock market today: Indian stock markets was trading in red on Monday due to concerns over valuations combined with disappointing earnings for the first quarter of the current financial year. At 13:44 IST, Nifty 50 index was trading at 25,045 . 85, decreasing by 103.05 points or 0.41%, while the Sensex was at 82,130.57, falling by 356.54 points or 0.43%. Analysts attribute the cautious opening to a combination of elevated valuations, underwhelming corporate performance, and global uncertainties. On the technical front, according to Vinay Rajani from HDFC Securities, Nifty 50's next crucial support is now seen near 25,000, 50-day Exponential Moving Average. Rajani has recommended two stock to buy for short-term. Here's what he expects from Indian stock market next week, along with his stock recommendations. Market Views - Vinay Rajani, Senior Technical and Derivative Analyst, HDFC Securities Nifty 50 Last week, the Nifty 50 lost 1.22% and closed below its 20 days SMA placed at 25,265. Nifty 50 has violated the support of its upward-sloping trendline, which connects previous swing highs of 25,116 and 25,222. The next crucial support is now seen near 25,000, 50-day Exponential Moving Average which also coincides with the lower trendline of a rising wedge pattern on the daily chart. A decisive close below 25000 could trigger momentum selling, potentially dragging the Nifty 50 towards a positional support of 24,500. The recent swing high of 25,549 is not expected to act as strong resistance, and caution is advised unless this level is decisively breached. Bearish signals from indicators and oscillators like MACD and RSI on the daily chart further suggest potential weakness.

A close below this level would signal a fresh breakdown, potentially pushing the index towards supports at 55,900 and 55,150. Broader market indices also show signs of weakness; the NSE500 index has violated multiple trendlines and its 20-day DMA on a closing basis. Both Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 indices have confirmed a 'Doji'; reversal pattern after a prolonged uptrend on their weekly charts, with a subsequent bear candle reinforcing this bearish reversal. On the global front, after a bullish breakout on positional charts, the MSCI Emerging Market index has formed a 'Doji' candlestick, which could lead to a 'throwback'; fall towards its previous breakout point. Conversely, the Dollar Index, after a prolonged downtrend, has formed a 'Doji'; candle followed by a bullish candle on its weekly chart, signaling a potential bullish reversal. Given the negative correlation between the Dollar and Emerging Market equities, this suggests a possible downward movement in emerging markets and an upward trajectory for the Dollar Index from current levels. Nifty 50 Strategy : Short term Trend of Nifty 50 has turned weak. Recent swing high of 25,550 should be surpassed to negate the further downside. Momentum selling may emerge below the crucial support of 25,000 in Nifty 50, which could drag the index further towards positional support of 24,500. Traders should cut longs and go short below 25,000 in Nifty 50 for the downside target of 24,500, keeping stoploss at 25,350.

Partial knee surgery, not total, a good option for many patients, say orthopaedic surgeons from Mumbai
Mumbai: When former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee underwent total knee replacement at Breach Candy Hospital 25 years ago, it was a rare operation that few Indians opted for at that time due to the fear of the unknown. Now, roughly 2.5 lakh Indians undergo knee replacement surgery every year. Considering that more Indians — from 23.46 million in 1990 to 62 million now — suffer from degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis, in which the protective cartilage cushioning the ends of bones wears down, the knee replacement numbers can only increase. In this backdrop, two orthopaedic surgeons from the city, Dr Amyn Rajani and Dr Arun Mullaji, have published separate research papers in indexed medical journals highlighting that total knee replacement, which entails cutting through ligament, cartilage, and bones, may not be the only alternative for patients. Their research articles highlight that partial knee replacement could be good enough for many Indians. The knee has three compartments: the medial (34%), lateral (33%), and patellofemoral (33%). Arthritis begins in the medial compartment, meaning 66% of the knee is normal and functional at this stage. "Nearly 50% of patients suffer from arthritis confined only to the medial compartment of the knee, meaning a full knee replacement may be unnecessary for them," said Dr Rajani. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like At Siemens Energy You Engage in a Global Network of Experts Siemens Energy Learn More Undo A total replacement for such patients means "unnecessarily removing the healthy 66% of the knee" and replacing it with an artificial implant. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai His research paper in the Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma looks at long-term five to nine years of follow-up of patients who underwent partial knee replacement. "The results are impressive, showing a survivorship rate of 96.85% over five years," said the doctor. The patients reported minimal pain, quicker return to daily activities, and could squat and sit cross-legged. Going by global estimates, roughly 70% of patients undergoing knee replacement will need the total option, while the remaining may only need partial replacement. "Only 12.7% of the Indian population is recommended surgical intervention for knee osteoarthritis, with well over 80% of those being total knee replacements. This shows that the number of medial unicompartmental knee replacements is low in India," said Dr Rajani. The doctors believe partial knee replacement is safer and, as it involves minimal cuts, recovery is faster. Dr Mullaji spoke about his first patient (now 78) who underwent a partial knee replacement and made it to the Limca Book of Records in 1997. "I followed her progress for 28 years, and she needed a revision last year mainly because of other degenerative diseases she developed in the interim," he said. Dr Mullaji, who completed over 4,000 partial knee replacements, said the technique is underutilised because few surgeons are trained in it and patients are unaware of it. "There also are some patients who are 'business-minded' and think a total knee replacement is better than partial," he said. Dr Mullaji's research paper, which was published online in the Journal of Orthopaedics on Saturday, reviewed the progress of 2,500 patients on whom he performed the partial knee replacement. "This study has established that leg alignment can be achieved with unicompartmental surgery," he said. Dr Mohan Desai, head of orthopaedics in BMC-run KEM Hospital in Parel, said there are specific criteria laid down for the selection of patients for partial knee replacement. It's recommended for patients who are younger (below 50), those with minimum damage due to disease, and older patients with other comorbidities such as heart disease that makes total replacement a riskier surgery. "There is a grey zone where some patients may have extended indications and may want total knee replacement," said Dr Desai, who regularly performs partial knee replacement using a robotic arm at KEM Hospital, Parel. Senior orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sanjay Agarwala said that the decision to do a partial knee replacement depends on the concerned surgeon's ability and belief. "Partial knee replacement doesn't always lead to correct alignment of the leg in many patients as patient selection and surgeon's training are of critical importance," he said. "Most patients coming to me have extensive disease and would need total knee replacement," said Dr Agarwala, who, incidentally, prefers other techniques such as high tibial osteotomy (a surgical procedure that realigns the knee joint by cutting and reshaping the tibia or the shin bone) to partial knee replacement. "Some patients with single compartment disease would benefit from splints and braces and not need a partial replacement," Dr Agarwala added.

TDP-led government privatising medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh: YSRCP leader V Rajini
Though 17 medical colleges were announced, Rajini said that only five were completed while colleges envisaged under phase II at Paderu, Pulivendula, Markapuram, Adoni, and Madanapalle were stalled. Rajini noted that during COVID-19 pandemic, former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had initiated the construction of 17 medical colleges at a cost of Rs 8,500 crore with world class facilities akin to modern corporate hospitals for free healthcare and education. Amaravati, May 29 (PTI) YSRCP leader and former health minister V Rajani on Thursday said the TDP-led NDA government was 'privatising' medical colleges and termed it an 'institutional betrayal'. 'Each medical college, built at a cost of Rs 500 crore on 50 acres of prime land valued at over Rs 2 crore per acre, is being leased at Rs 100 per acre annually, totalling Rs 5,000 per college,' said Rajani addressing a press conference. She said these colleges were designed for local access to advance healthcare. Rajani alleged that public assets worth over Rs 8,000 crore are being handed over to private players for about Rs 5,000 annually, undermining decades of public healthcare investment. She said the government allegedly used audit firm KPMG's 'biased report' to justify the 'transfer of institutions' to corporate control, which could deprive medical education for the underprivileged sections and free super-specialty healthcare. Rajani accused the coalition government of dismantling several health schemes launched by the erstwhile YSRCP government which offered access to free healthcare and essential support. She alleged welfare, farming, and industrial systems are in crisis, while 'false promises' like iconic towers at Amaravati will only benefit a few and ignore public needs. There was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP on Rajani's allegations. PTI MS STH SKY SKY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

'Jawans should never be afraid': Purnam Kumar Shaw in Rishra after return from Pakistan
RISHRA: "Nation is always first, jawans should never be afraid," said Purnam Kumar Shaw as he stepped into his Rishra home on Friday evening accompanied by family members and scores of well-wishers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The BSF jawan was taken into custody by after inadvertently crossing the border on April 23, the day after the Pahalgam massacre, and spent 22 days in captivity there before being released on May 14. Shaw reached Howrah Station by train at 4.30 pm and was received by his father and brother. He left for home in a car with a motley crowd at the station shouting 'Bharat mata ki jai'. At Bagkhali More, about 800 metres from his home, he was welcomed with garlands and flowers. From there, the road leading to his house was draped in fairy lights, festoons and banners welcoming him home. A band playing patriotic songs led the procession as women in traditional attire stood on both sides of GT Road waving Tricolours. Standing on an open-roof vehicle, Shaw waved at them even as a cavalcade of cars, bikes and e-rickshaws and hundreds of people on foot followed his car. "It's good to be back home. I have received love and support from everyone. I am also happy that the Indian Armed Forces avenged the Pahalgam killings. I will always continue to work for BSF," an overwhelmed Shaw said. But when asked about Pakistan, he remained silent. At home, Shaw's pregnant wife Rajani was busy arranging a thaali with diya, haldi, flowers and sweets. His mother, Debanti, had toiled for hours preparing poori, sabzi, and halwa for her son. Rajani wore the sari she had bought during last Teej — a monsoon festival when women seek blessings for their husbands. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Mere liye to aj Diwali bhi hay Karwa Chauth bhi" (It is both Diwali and Karwa Chauth for me)," she said, glowing with happiness. "He is being welcomed as a hero. Every news channel is flashing his photo. This will boost the morale of every soldier guarding the border," she added. Rajni said her husband wasn't allowed to use his mobile phone after his release. "I used to call a senior officer. We had brief conversations. He wasn't harmed or physically tortured in Pakistan. They might have interrogated him, but there wasn't even a bruise on him," she said. Recalling the days when her husband was in captivity she said, "Each day was like a mountain that we had to climb. When I went to Pathankot, senior officers asked us to keep patience. But how could I be patient when my husband was spending days in an enemy country?" Shae's elder sister, Kiran, who has come down from Kharagpur to meet her brother said, "I just had to tell the toto driver that I want to go to Purnam's house and he brought us here. It was such a moment of joy for us. People have now started recognising out house because of my brother. There can't be a prouder moment for us."

BSF jawan treated like a spy by Pakistan, was not allowed to brush: Report
Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw, who recently returned to India from Pakistan, was reportedly deprived of sleep and interrogated like a spy during his custody of over three weeks,. Shaw was apprehended by Pakistani forces on April 23 after he crossed the international boundary inadvertently while escorting a group of local farmers across the border fence in Ferozepur sector. He was released on April 23 after the BSF consistently raised the issue of his custody during flag meetings with their Pakistani counterparts. A Times of India report on Friday carried details of Shaw's conversation with his pregnant wife Rajani on Wednesday. The jawan shared that he was not physically tortured but was interrogated every night which drained him mentally, the report said. During his over three week long custody, Shaw was treated like a spy rather than a soldier and was shifted to three different locations. Rajani also learnt that one of the locations looked like an airbase as Shaw reportedly heard sounds of aircraft movement, the report said. Shaw's wife also noted that her husband was served food regularly but was not allowed to brush his teeth. 'When he spoke, he sounded extremely tired and said he was sleep-deprived,' she was quoted in the report.

The jawan's wife had expressed relief, thanking prime minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee for ensuring Shaw's return. 'Modi ji has not just worked for national pride but also to protect the sindoor of every Indian woman. Because of him, my sindoor is safe, and my husband has come back,' she had said.
