Stock market today: Domestic stock markets began the day flat on Thursday, with expectations that investor sentiment will improve as India and the UK are set to officially announce the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) later today.
This anticipated optimism is bolstered by recent global events, such as the trade agreement between the US and Japan.
At 11:59 IST, the Nifty 50 index was trading at 25,038 . 15, down by 178.35 points or 0.73%, whereas the BSE Sensex was trading at 82,090.44, reflecting a slip of 644.59 points or 0.79%.
Analysts indicated that investors are optimistic about the India-UK FTA and the US-Japan agreement that reduced tariffs. The overall sentiment is positive, and any additional trade news before August 1 could stimulate a market surge.
According to Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities, is in the process of forming a new lower top of the pattern. Shetti recommends two stocks to buy in the short-term. Here's what Shetti says about the overall market.
After showing a sustainable upmove towards the crucial overhead resistance of 25,250 levels yesterday, Nifty 50 was not able to surpass the said hurdle so far today and slipped into weakness. The negative chart pattern like lower highs and lows is still intact and presently Nifty 50 is in the process of forming a new lower top of the pattern. However, a decisive move only above 25,250-25,300 could negate this bearish sentiment. Immediate support is placed at 25,050 levels.
Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities recommends these two stocks to buy in the short-term - K.P.R. Mill Limited, and Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd (FACT).
After witnessing a range bound action in the last few weeks, the stock price witnessed a sustainable upside breakout recently and closed higher. Volume has started to expand during upside breakout in the stock price and daily RSI shows positive indication.
The stock price has bounced back sharply on Thursday after a healthy downward correction of the last one week. We observe formation of higher bottom at the swing low of ₹ 940 levels recently. Volume pattern and momentum oscillators are indicating positive bias for the stock price ahead.

Nifty futures fall, oil rises after US tariffs on India over Russian energy

The Nifty futures fell and crude prices rose after US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued an executive order imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods from India over its purchase of Russian energy. The Gift Nifty futures declined up to 0.9 per cent before recovering and were trading at 24,535 — down 95.5 points or 0.39 per cent — as of 8:45 pm. Oil prices climbed, with Brent crude trading at $69.2, up 0.85 per cent. The benchmark Nifty ended Wednesday's session at 24,574, down 75 points or 0.3 per cent. The latest tariffs are in addition to the 25 per cent tariffs already in place. 'The recovery of Gift Nifty indicates that the markets are likely to take Trump's announcement in their stride and are not shocked. Additional tariffs are more of a theatre and negotiation tool than an actual imposition,' said UR Bhat, co-founder, Alphaniti Fintech. 'We expect the markets to fall by 1–2 per cent in a knee-jerk reaction, but most would expect a resolution. Impact on GDP will be around 30–40 basis points if these tariffs are sustained for a year,' said Dhiraj Relli, managing director and chief executive officer, HDFC Securities. Trump on Tuesday had accused India of fuelling Russia's war machine. The US President had earlier escalated trade tensions by unilaterally imposing a 25 per cent tariff after months of negotiations. The additional tariffs come ahead of an August 8 deadline that Trump gave Russia to reach a truce with Ukraine. He has also threatened secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian energy.

PM Modi to meet Japanese PM as part of East Asia outreach

NEW DELHI Against the backdrop of growing uncertainty in India-U.S. ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to reach out to East Asia in the coming weeks. As part of the initiative, Mr. Modi is likely to travel to Japan to meet his Japanese counterpart, Shigeru Ishiba, by the end of August. The visit to Japan is significant, as both countries are part of the Quad initiative that was launched by Australia, India, Japan, and the United States in 2017. As the United States reorients its trade priorities, the resultant dynamics are expected to spill over to platforms where India and the U.S. cooperate on a number of issues. In this context, the discussion between Prime Minister Modi and PM Shigeru Ishiba will highlight the direction that the Quad will take in the near future. Around this time, global attention will also be focused on the upcoming summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in China, where leaders of the SCO member states are expected to be present. However, there is no official confirmation of Prime Minister Modi's participation in the SCO summit during August 31-September 1. Mr. Modi has visited China on multiple occasions earlier, but bilateral ties have remained uneasy since the 2020 Galwan clashes, when Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed in eastern Ladakh.

US-India tariff war: FIEO warns MSMEs could take major hit; 50% tariffs to affect 55% of shipments

India's exporters are reeling from a major blow after the US imposed a steep 50% tariff on most Indian goods, a move the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has called 'extremely shocking. ' The fresh 25% hike, signed into order by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, is in response to New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. It adds to an existing 25% duty, bringing the total tariff to 50% on nearly all Indian exports to the US. Sectors like textiles, marine products, and leather are expected to be hit the hardest. "This move is a severe setback for Indian exports, with nearly 55% of our shipments to the US market directly affected. The 50 per cent reciprocal tariff effectively imposes a cost burden, placing our exporters at a 30–35 per cent competitive disadvantage compared to peers from countries with lesser reciprocal tariff," FIEO director general Ajay Sahai told PTI. He further added that several export orders have already been put on hold as international buyers reassess sourcing plans as costs continue to soar. "For a large number of MSME-led sectors, absorbing this sudden cost escalation is simply not viable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Margins are already thin, and this additional blow could force exporters to lose long-standing clients," Sahai said. With the new tariff structure, Indian goods now face the highest import duty level into the US, on par with Brazil. Competitor countries face significantly lower duties: Myanmar - 40% Thailand - 36% Cambodia - 36% Bangladesh - 35 % Indonesia - 32% China and Sri Lanka - both 30% Malaysia - 25 per cent Philippines - 20% Vietnam - 20% "With this high tariff, the domestic exporters will have to look for alternative markets," Sahai added. In the financial year 2024–25, India-US bilateral trade stood at $131.8 billion, including $86.5 billion in exports and $45.3 billion in imports.
