Stocks to buy or sell: Osho Krishan of Angel One suggests buying CDSL, Tata Chemicals shares today
Stock market today: Indian stock markets began the day on a positive note on Thursday, drawing strength from gains seen in Asian markets and Wall Street futures, as investors reacted positively to a US trade court's ruling that stopped President Trump's tariffs on imports from US trading partners.
The Nifty 50 increased by 0.29% to 24,825.10, while the Sensex was up 0.34% at 81,591.03 as of 9:15 IST.
The Court of International Trade determined that President Trump overstepped his authority with the proposed tariff measures. Although the White House has filed an appeal against this ruling, the decision has fostered optimism that Trump might reconsider the significant tariff levels he had previously threatened, improving global risk sentiment.
Market analysts are of the opinion that news concerning Trump's tariffs continues to influence the markets. The US Federal court's decision to overturn the reciprocal tariffs sends a strong signal that the unconventional president cannot disregard the markets and economy with his dubious choices. This judicial ruling marks the second significant setback for President Trump, following the blow dealt by the bond market, which compelled the Trump administration to suspend the tariffs for 90 days. From the perspective of the market, this is a favourable turn of events.
Profit booking has extended into a second consecutive session; however, prices have remained within the previous trading range and have successfully held above the low of the prior session. On the daily chart, a small-bodied candle has emerged, reflecting the ongoing phase of consolidation. In general, much of May has experienced a time-wise correction, interspersed with only a few significant upward movement days. Attention is now focused on the upcoming F&O expiry day, which is poised to influence the market's direction in the near term.
From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50 continues to oscillate between the identified lows around 24,450 and the corresponding highs near 25,100. This range remains critical, and any breakthrough beyond it could potentially reignite momentum. However, an examination of these levels on the expiry day itself appears improbable and surpassing them would present a significant challenge. In the short term, immediate support is observed around 24,600, which also corresponds with the 20-DEMA. Conversely, the psychological 25,000-mark serves as immediate resistance. These two levels are anticipated to be pivotal during the expiry session.
While the benchmark indices continue to exhibit range-bound behavior, specific themes and movements of individual stocks have become particularly noteworthy. It is recommended that traders focus on these opportunities; however, they should exercise caution, as several recent breakouts have not been able to maintain their momentum due to insufficient follow-up buying.
On stocks to buy on Thursday, Osho Krishan of Angel One recommended two stocks - Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL), and Tata Chemicals Ltd.
CDSL share price has demonstrated a consolidation breakout above the 200-day simple moving average (DSMA), indicating a robust upward trend. From a technical analysis perspective, the stock is currently exhibiting a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, supported by favourable indicators that enhance its bullish sentiment. Furthermore, considering the risk-reward dynamics, CDSL is in a favorable position and appears poised to maintain its upward trajectory in the near term. This situation presents a significant opportunity for investors seeking growth potential.
Hence, we recommend to BUY CDSL shares around ₹ 1,500, keeping a stop loss of ₹ 1,420 for a potential Target of ₹ 1,620-1,640.
Tata Chemicals share price has recently emerged from a consolidation phase and has surpassed its previous swing high, indicating an initial sign of a counter-trend. Additionally, the positive crossover observed between the 20-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA) represents a favorable development in the technical analysis. This progression is further corroborated by positive movements in the MACD indicator, suggesting a constructive outlook for the stock's performance.
Hence, we recommend to BUY Tata Chemicals around ₹ 890-880, keeping a stop loss of ₹ 840 for a potential Target of ₹ 980.

‘Ready to facilitate for a reasonable fee': Russia mocks Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud, offers 'peace talks' & business haven for Tesla CEO
Russia mocks Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud, offers 'peace talks' & business haven for Tesla CEO (Picture credit: AP) The spectacular fallout between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has become a source of mockery and intrigue in Moscow, where senior officials and media figures are treating the public feud as both comedy and opportunity. "Elon, don't be upset!" posted nationalist senator Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Russia's space agency, on Musk's platform X. "If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us. Here you will find reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity," he added, in a tone mixing humour with a clear invitation. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev took the trolling a step further, offering to mediate between the feuding duo. 'We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee,' he wrote on X, before jokingly requesting Starlink shares as payment. As per the news agency Reuters, the episode has been widely ridiculed as an example of chaos in Washington, with Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT, deriding it as 'modern US political culture, sort of like the English Industrial Revolution. Only in reverse.' The Trump-Musk relationship imploded after Musk criticised Trump's flagship legislative proposal as an 'abomination.' Trump responded with rare public disappointment, telling reporters in the Oval Office, 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.' He later suggested slashing Musk's lucrative government contracts, saying, 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' The spat escalated quickly, with Musk accusing Trump of 'ingratitude' and reposting claims that the president appeared in government documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, allegations he shared without providing evidence. The feud also triggered a $100 billion drop in Tesla's market value and prompted Musk to threaten decommissioning SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, a key part of Nasa missions, before walking it back. The Russian elite appears to be relishing the distraction. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, as reported by Reuters, dismissed the feud as an internal US matter but expressed confidence in Trump's ability to manage it. Others, like hardline nationalist businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, saw strategic value in the squabble. 'We can just be glad that they won't have time for us,' he said, calling it 'the best time to strike back' against Ukraine. Meanwhile, the White House ruled out any imminent reconciliation. A senior official said that Trump had no plans to speak to Musk, dismissing rumours of a scheduled call. When asked by ABC whether he intended to reconnect with his ex-ally, Trump replied bluntly: 'You mean the man who has lost his mind?' As the public spat continues to reverberate, it has turned into a political spectacle that offers both global amusement and serious implications.

Trump, Musk, and the Big Beautiful Breakup
Donald Trump, left, and Elon Musk depart the White House to board Marine One en route to New Jersey, March 21, 2025, in Washington. (AP) TOI correspondent from Washington: The epic war between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man kept America -- and the world -- enthralled on Friday as attempts to bring about a truce between Elon Musk and Donald Trump failed. There was a brief prospect of reconciliation on Thursday night as mutual friends tried to patch things up after Musk ratcheted up his attacks on the President, linking Trump to the pedophile Epstein. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' he posted on X. Trump ignored the charge but he responded to the broader issue of their falling out, saying he had asked Musk to leave the White House because he was 'wearing thin,' and he (Musk) went "crazy" because the administration took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that "nobody else wanted." Things went further south when the President posted, "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' That triggered Musk to warn that he would decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, critical for NASA's International Space Station operations, a threat he later retracted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Amid the heated, real-time exchanges on social media, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman got in a word edgewise, asking the warring duo to reunite "for the benefit of our great country." Musk responded, "You're not wrong," and reportedly sought a Trump phone call, which the President rejected on Friday, characterizing Musk as the "man who has lost his mind." Officials though warned the President could change his mind. Chances of a truce appeared to have been derailed by Musk himself after he mused about the President's political mortality in the hours before, telling social media gadabout Laura Loomer that "Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…" This came after he tried to talk up JD Vance for the Oval Office following a Trump impeachment proposed by some critics. But the US vice-president smacked down the idea, saying, "President Trump has done more than any person in my lifetime to earn the trust of the movement he leads. I'm proud to stand beside him." Several GOP lawmakers rallied around Trump saying Musk had "gone too far" in the feud. Musk also posted a poll on X asking, "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?" There were more than 5 million responses, with more than 80 percent saying "yes." A variety of other characters waded into the drama, offering millions of political junkies a constant high. While Ackman and other billionaires and tech bros sought to keep a lid on the explosion, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and other MAGA hardliners, who see Musk as an interloper, poured gasoline on the fumes, demanding Trump seize's Musk's SpaceX invoking national security provisions and deport Musk, although the South Africa born Tesla boss is now a US citizen. A current Trump advisor Peter Navarro, among many in the President's inner circle happy with the departure of the man some called a "co-President," said Musk was just 'a special government employee with an expiration date.' Russia too stepped into the American swamp, offering Musk political asylum if his feud with Trump went further south. Some of the feuding bordered on the petulant, with several media outlets reporting that Trump now plans to sell the red Tesla S that he bought with great fanfare after celebrating Musk and his cars on the White House lawns just a few weeks ago. The banner headline in the NewYork Post said it all: I HATE MY X.

Why Trump and Nasa cannot afford to cut SpaceX contract over Musk feud
The feud raised questions about how far Trump, an often unpredictable force who has intervened in past procurement efforts, would go to punish Musk, who until last week headed Trump's initiative to downsize the federal government read more Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's violent feud on Thursday might have a significant impact on many US space initiatives and jeopardise around $22 billion of SpaceX's federal contracts. Musk's criticism of Trump's tax-cut and spending legislation, which started last week, was the starting point of the dispute, which swiftly got out of hand. When Musk talked in the Oval Office, Trump snapped at him. Then, Musk attacked Trump in a string of X postings, threatening to revoke federal contracts with Musk's businesses. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Musk took the warning seriously and announced that he would begin 'decommissioning' SpaceX's Dragon spaceship, which is used by Nasa. Hours later, however, Musk appeared to reverse course. Responding to a follower on X urging him and Trump to 'cool off and take a step back for a couple of days,' Musk wrote: 'Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon.' Still, Musk's mere threat to abruptly pull its Dragon spacecraft out of service marked an unprecedented outburst from one of Nasa's leading commercial partners. Under a roughly $5 billion contract, the Dragon capsule has been the agency's only US vessel capable of carrying astronauts to and from the International Space Station, making Musk's company a critical element of the US space program. The feud raised questions about how far Trump, an often unpredictable force who has intervened in past procurement efforts, would go to punish Musk, who until last week headed Trump's initiative to downsize the federal government. If the president prioritized political retaliation and canceled billions of dollars of SpaceX contracts with Nasa and the Pentagon, it could slow US space progress. Nasa press secretary Bethany Stevens declined to comment on SpaceX, but said: 'We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the president's objectives in space are met.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Musk and Trump's tussle ruptured an extraordinary relationship between a US president and industry titan that had yielded some key favours for SpaceX: a proposed overhaul of Nasa's moon program into a Mars program, a planned effort to build a gigantic missile defence shield in space, and the naming of an Air Force leader who favoured SpaceX in a contract award. Taking Dragon out of service would likely disrupt the ISS program, which involves dozens of countries under a two-decade-old international agreement. But it was unclear how quickly such a decommissioning would occur. Nasa uses Russia's Soyuz spacecraft as a secondary ride for its astronauts to the ISS. SpaceX's rise SpaceX rose to dominance long before Musk's foray into Republican politics last year, building formidable market share in the rocket launch and satellite communications industries that could shield it somewhat from Musk's split with Trump, analysts said. 'It fortunately wouldn't be catastrophic, since SpaceX has developed itself into a global powerhouse that dominates most of the space industry, but there's no question that it would result in significant lost revenue and missed contract opportunities,' said Justus Parmar, CEO of SpaceX investor Fortuna Investments. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Under Trump in recent months, the US space industry and Nasa's workforce of 18,000 have been whipsawed by looming layoffs and proposed budget cuts that would cancel dozens of science programs, while the US space agency remains without a confirmed administrator. Trump's nominee for Nasa administrator, Musk ally and billionaire private astronaut Jared Isaacman, appeared to be an early casualty of Musk's rift with the president when the White House abruptly removed him from consideration over the weekend, denying Musk his pick to lead the space agency. Trump on Thursday explained dumping Isaacman by saying he was 'totally Democrat,' in an apparent reference to reports Isaacman had donated to Democrats. Isaacman has donated to some Republican but mostly Democratic candidates for office, according to public records. Musk's quest to send humans to Mars has been a critical element of Trump's space agenda. The effort has threatened to take resources away from Nasa's flagship effort to send humans back to the moon. Trump's budget plan sought to cancel Artemis moon missions beyond its third mission, effectively ending the over-budget Space Launch System rocket used for those missions. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But the Senate Commerce Committee version of Trump's bill released late on Thursday would restore funding for missions four and five, providing at least $1 billion annually for SLS through 2029. Since SpaceX's rockets are a less expensive alternative to SLS, whether the Trump administration opposes the Senate's changes in the coming weeks will give an indication of Musk's remaining political power. SpaceX, founded in 2002, has won $15 billion of contracts from Nasa for the company's Falcon 9 rockets and development of SpaceX's Starship, a multipurpose rocket system tapped to land Nasa astronauts on the moon this decade. The company has also been awarded billions of dollars to launch a majority of the Pentagon's national security satellites into space while it builds a massive spy satellite constellation in orbit for a US intelligence agency. In addition to not being in US interests, former Nasa Deputy Administrator Lori Garver said cancelling SpaceX's contracts would probably not be legal. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But she also added, 'A rogue CEO threatening to decommission spacecraft, putting astronauts' lives at risk, is untenable.'
