Stocks to buy for short term: Eternal, HUL, Policybazaar among 5 shares experts suggest for the next 2-3 weeks
The Nifty 50 closed at 24,585, breaching a key hurdle of 24,500 on short covering amid signs of easing geopolitical tensions.
Experts believe a decisive move above 24,650 will push the index to levels above 24,850 or even beyond.
Nilesh Jain, Head Technical and Derivatives Research Analyst (Equity Research) at Centrum Broking, highlighted that the Nifty regained its 100-DMA, which aligns with the psychological mark of 24,500, now acting as the immediate support, with the next cushion at 24,340.
"The price structure indicates scope for a further pullback towards 24,750. Although the broader trend remains weak, the short-term bias has turned mildly positive, driven by a short-covering rally," said Jain.
Vishnu Kant Upadhyay of Master Capital Services and Amruta Shinde of Choice Broking suggest five stocks to buy for the next two to three weeks. Take a look:
Eternal is trading in a strong uptrend, with prices holding firmly above the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, signalling sustained bullish momentum.
After a sharp rally, the stock has formed a brief consolidation pattern near its recent highs, indicating healthy profit booking before the next leg up.
The RSI at 67 remains in bullish territory without being overbought, suggesting further upside potential. MACD stays in positive territory, supporting the ongoing momentum.
"A breakout above the falling trendline resistance triggers a fresh rally towards ₹ 346 and then ₹ 355 levels, while strong support lies near ₹ 280, keeping the overall trend firmly positive," said Upadhyay.
HUL share price is forming a rounding bottom formation, signalling a gradual transition from a prolonged downtrend to a sustainable uptrend.
The recent uptick in prices is accompanied by rising volumes, indicating strong accumulation interest from market participants.
A golden crossover—where the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA—further reinforces the bullish sentiment, often considered a powerful long-term buy signal.
Following a healthy correctional fall from recent highs, prices have found support near the confluence zone of short- and long-term moving averages.
The subsequent rebound reflects renewed buying momentum. The RSI sustaining above the 55–60 zone hints at further upside potential without being overbought.
Moreover, the MACD remains in positive territory, adding strength to the bullish case.
Indian Bank has given a breakout from a bullish consolidation, confirmed by a robust bullish Marubozu candle accompanied by rising volumes, indicating strong institutional participation.
The price action remains well aligned above the 20, 50, 100, and 200 EMAs, reinforcing the prevailing uptrend.
RSI holding above 65 reflects sustained momentum, while MACD's bullish crossover adds confirmation.
"The ongoing sequence of higher highs and higher lows, coupled with its bullish channel structure, signals firm control by buyers and potential for continued upside," said Upadhyay.
PB Fintech has rebounded from a key support zone after breaking out of a falling trendline. On increased volume, a strong bullish candle formed, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
"A sustained move above the critical resistance level of ₹ 1,900 could open the way for an uptrend toward ₹ 2,070, supported by rising trading volumes that reflect strong buying interest. Downside support is placed at ₹ 1,800 in case of any minor pullback," said Shinde.
The RSI stands at 59.17 and is trending upward, while the stock is comfortably trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs, further reinforcing the positive outlook.
"Traders may consider entering at ₹ 1,860.6 with a stop loss at ₹ 1,755 and a target of ₹ 2,070, while maintaining strict risk management to handle potential short-term volatility," Shinde said.
GICRE has rebounded from a key support zone and broken out of a range-bound phase with the formation of a strong bullish candle.
"A sustained move above the critical resistance level of ₹ 410 could pave the way for an uptrend toward ₹ 450, supported by rising trading volumes that indicate strong buying interest. Downside support is placed at ₹ 390 in case of any minor pullback," said Shinde.
The RSI stands at 61.72 and is trending upward, while the stock is comfortably trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs, further reinforcing the bullish outlook.
"Traders may consider entering at ₹ 399.5 with a stop loss at ₹ 374 and a target of ₹ 450, while maintaining strict risk management to navigate potential short-term volatility," Shinde said.
Indian Bank has reversed from a key support zone and broken out of a sideways range between ₹ 605 and ₹ 660 with the formation of a strong bullish candle accompanied by increased volume, signalling a bullish reversal.
"A sustained move above the critical resistance level of ₹ 690 could pave the way toward ₹ 740, supported by rising trading volumes that indicate strong buying interest. Downside support is seen at ₹ 660 in case of any minor pullback," said Shinde.
The RSI stands at 66.99 and is trending upward, while the stock is comfortably trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs, further reinforcing the positive outlook.
"Traders may consider entering at ₹ 674.8 with a stop loss at ₹ 644 and a target of ₹ 740, while ensuring strict risk management to handle potential short-term volatility," Shinde said.

India, China may resume direct flights next month
India and China may resume direct flights as early as next month, people familiar with the talks said, as both nations seek to reset ties. Indian carriers have been asked to prepare services at short notice, with an announcement likely around the SCO summit in China later in Aug. Passenger flights were halted after Covid pandemic, forcing travelers to route via hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore. The move comes as India's ties with the US face strain amid a tariff war. On Monday, Air India said it would suspend its Washington DC service next month citing "operational factors." Relations between India and China soured after 2020 border clashes but have eased with India recently allowing tourist visas for Chinese nationals. Before the suspension, Air India, IndiGo, Air China, China Southern and China Eastern operated direct services. Both Air India and IndiGo are expected to restart China flights, though the exact timing remains uncertain.

India-U.K. FTA offers mutual growth, says Trade Commissioner
The U.K.-India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) deal would mutually benefit both nations and promote mobility, innovation, inclusivity, support jobs, boost exports, and strengthen cross-border trade and economic growth, said Harjinder Kang, Trade Commissioner, South Asia, and British Deputy High Commissioner, Western India, at the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC) organised roundtable here on Tuesday. 'The vision also aligns with the U.K.'s modern industrial strategy which will help businesses overcome barriers to investment across sectors,' he commented, while addressing BCIC members. Chandru Iyer, British Deputy High Commissioner, Karnataka and Kerala and Deputy Trade Commissioner, South Asia (Investment), further explained how this strategic partnership could unlock new opportunities for bilateral growth and collaboration. 'Indian-owned companies are already thriving in the U.K., driving jobs in high-growth sectors such as aerospace, technology, and advanced manufacturing. Indian businesses are making the most of the U.K.'s ecosystem and the U.K.-India CETA will boost this further,' he observed. He further said he was confident that the new comprehensive strategic partnership would see closer partnerships in defence, education, climate, technology, and innovation. The technology security initiative (TSI), signed last year, would lead to increased collaboration in areas including telecom security which would unlock investment across emerging technologies, critical minerals, AI, biotech advanced materials and semiconductors, he stated. 'We believe that this agreement will have a significant impact on our economies and will support job creation, technology transfer, and innovation. With its potential to double bilateral trade by 2030, this agreement is expected to have a lasting impact on both economies,' said Prashant Gokhale, president, BCIC.

Possessions possess
Elias Canetti's said, 'To possess is to be possessed.' His idea encapsulates the complex relationship between ownership and its psychological implications. When we acquire possessions, whether material or intangible, there is a reciprocal effect that occurs. On one hand, the act of possessing provides a sense of control and power, as one gains ownership and influence over something or someone. However, simultaneously, this act of possession also possesses us, exerting an undeniable hold on our lives. The more we possess, the more we are consumed by the responsibilities, obligations and even emotional attachments. Hence, Canetti suggests that possession goes beyond the physical aspect, infiltrating our thoughts, emotions and identity, ultimately exerting a powerful influence on our lives. An everyday example further elucidates Canetti's statement. Nowadays, almost all of us possess high-end phones. But, in fact, these expensive gadgets have possessed us as we all have become slaves to them. We're all at sea without them. The great Persian mystic Jalaluddin Rumi says, 'Own nothing, for what you own eventually owns you.' We keep accumulating objects of material comforts only to be consumed by them sooner or later. It's like a snake swallowing and consuming its own tail. Try not to possess more than what's required. When possessions start possessing you and threaten to take your contentment away, it's time to bid farewell to them. (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer.
