Nagaraj Shetti suggests Alkyl Amines, Star Health shares to buy in the short term; do you own?
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.

Despite war and warnings, US traded more with Russia than ally Ukraine
United States President Donald Trump on August 6 announced an additional tariff of 25 per cent on India, taking the total to 50 per cent, making tariffs on India one of the highest in the tariffs, as per Trump, are a sanction against India for importing fuel from Russia. Trump alleges that India, by doing this, has been financing the Russian invasion of data by the US Census Bureau presents a different picture.A deep dive into the monthly trade data of the US with Russia and Ukraine reveals that the US has been doing more trade with Russia than it is with since the war began in February 2022, the US-Russia total trade has stood at USD 25.233 billion, while the trade with Ukraine stands at a mere USD 9.69 we merely look at import data for the two nations, as Trump's major concern is India financing Russia through imports, we see a trend that exposes US hypocrisy. In 2022, US imports from Russia stood at USD 14.43 billion, while imports from Ukraine stood at $1.503 billion In 2023, US imports from Russia stood at USD 4.57 billion, while imports from Ukraine fell to USD 1.39 billion In 2024, US imports from Russia stood at USD 3 billion, while imports from Ukraine stood at USD 1.17 billion In 2025, till June, US imports from Russia stood at USD 2billion while imports from Ukraine stood at merely USD 769 trend is clear, in terms of imports. Even though substantially reduced, the US continues to buy from Russia more than it does from all, the US has imported goods worth over USD 22 billion from Russia, ever since Ukraine was attacked, while has only imported goods worth USD 4 billion in the same time period from we take a look at the percentage increase in Indian trade cooperation with Ukraine, when it comes to Ukrainian imports to India, since the the war began during FY 2021-22, India imported USD 3.38 billion worth of goods from Ukraine, as per data published by the Indian Embassy in Kyiv, while in 2024-25 this data stood at USD 1.2 billion, which stands more than what the US buys from the war-torn the data is clear: While the US has accused India of arming and financing the Russian war, it is the US which is financing Russia more than it is financing Ukraine through trade, while India is balancing its partnership without taking a side and without financing any one side.- EndsTune InMust Watch

'Since I was going to the US for four years, I wanted to try myself,' he said, adding that 'I used my dad's account because I didn't have time to set up an account since turning 18 yet. I was feeling lucky and had a gut feeling that something good is going to happen.' Wayne said he was asleep when he received the call revealing him as the winner of the million-dollar lottery.

Indian Super League owner swings to profit in FY25 even as 2025–26 season remains in limbo
Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the JioStar subsidiary that owns and operates the Indian Super League (ISL), reported a sharp financial turnaround in FY 2024–25, posting a net profit of ₹45.2 crore. The company had reported a loss of ₹14.3 crore in the previous reversal was underpinned by a 39% increase in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹492.2 crore from ₹355 crore in FY24. Total income climbed to ₹508 crore, while expenses were tightly controlled at ₹462 crore, resulting in a profitable bottom line, as the company has been racking up losses since inception. In 2023, FSDL had signed Viacom18 Media, now part of JioStar, as the new home of Indian football for the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons at a base price of ₹550 crore for the two-year media rights deal. The turnaround comes even as the future of the ISL remains uncertain beyond 2025, with the 2025–26 season placed on hold amid an unresolved commercial dispute between FSDL and the All India Football Federation (AIFF). As reported by ET on July 12, the disagreement stems from the impending expiration of their current agreement on December 8. The ISL, launched in 2014 and sanctioned by the AIFF, is India's top-tier football league. Organised by FSDL under a franchise model with 12 teams, the league typically runs from September to April. In a recent communication to clubs, FSDL said it was unable to proceed with planning or commercialising the 2025–26 season due to the lack of clarity over the Master Rights Agreement (MRA), which expires in December, roughly a third of the way into the league's usual season.'While discussions between FSDL and AIFF on the potential renewal of the MRA were initiated several months ago, they remain inconclusive at this time,' the company said in its note. 'In the absence of a confirmed contractual framework beyond December, we find ourselves unable to effectively plan, organise, or commercialise the 2025–26 ISL season.'The company has reportedly proposed a new governance structure for the ISL via a holding company jointly owned by ISL clubs (60 percent), FSDL (26 percent), and AIFF (14 percent). However, the federation has demanded an all-cash agreement worth ₹50 crore annually with a 5 percent annual escalation, leading to a AIFF, in a statement, said it began formal renewal talks with FSDL on November 21, 2024, and held meetings in New Delhi and Mumbai in February and March, respectively. FSDL submitted a renewal proposal on March 5, to which the federation responded with a counteroffer on April the process stalled after the Supreme Court, during a hearing on April 26, observed that the renewal should not proceed until further orders. On legal advice, both parties have paused negotiations pending further instructions from the court.'The AIFF is conscious of the importance of the ISL not only to the football structure in the country but also to all the clubs, players, support staff, officials, and fans, and recognises the challenges and difficulties posed due to its disruption,' the federation said. 'At the same time, AIFF respects the law of the land and the direction of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.' Back in 2010, AIFF had signed a ₹700 crore, 15-year commercial agreement with IMG-Reliance (now Rise Worldwide), which was, at the time, among the most lucrative deals in Indian sport. Rise Worldwide continues to support FSDL commercially. ISL club owners include some of India's most prominent corporates and individuals. Mohun Bagan Super Giant is backed by the RPSG Group (Sanjiv Goenka), Bengaluru FC by the JSW Group (Parth Jindal), Chennaiyin FC by Vita Dani, Abhishek Bachchan, and MS Dhoni, and East Bengal FC by the Emami Group and East Bengal Club. Other clubs include FC Goa (Jaydev Mody, Akshay Tandon, and Virat Kohli as a stakeholder), Hyderabad FC (BC Jindal Group), Jamshedpur FC (Tata Steel), Kerala Blasters FC (Magnum Sports, Nimmagadda Prasad), Mumbai City FC (City Football Group, with Ranbir Kapoor and Bimal Parekh), NorthEast United FC (John Abraham), Odisha FC (GMS Inc., Dr. Anil Sharma), and Punjab FC (RoundGlass Sports, Sunny "Gurpreet" Singh).
