Best stock recommendations today—from MarketSmith India for 7 August
Indian equity indices extended losses for a second straight session on 6 August, with Nifty closing below 24,600. Sensex ended 166.26 points lower, or 0.21%, at 80,543.99, while Nifty declined 75.35 points, or 0.31%, to settle at 24,574.20. After a flat opening, Nifty traded in a narrow range throughout the day and closed near the day's low. Market participants largely stayed on the sidelines ahead of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision. As anticipated, the central bank kept the policy rate unchanged and maintained a neutral stance, leading to a muted reaction across the market. MarketSmith India's best stock recommendations for today—7 August Nifty 50: How the benchmark index performed on 6 August Nifty 50 ended the session on a cautious note, reflecting investor anxiety ahead of the RBI policy announcement and global trade tensions triggered by a fresh tariff warning from US President Donald Trump. The index traded in a narrow range, with muted movement across most sectors, as traders awaited clarity on interest rate direction and inflation outlook. Technically, it formed a small-bodied candle, indicating indecision, and hovered near its key support levels. Broader market participation remained subdued, with the advance-decline ratio tilted slightly in favour of decliners, suggesting underlying weakness. Select PSU and FMCG stocks showed resilience, while IT and Auto names faced mild profit booking. Technically, Nifty 50 continues to find support at its 100-EMA, providing short-term stability. The RSI has been moving sideways and is currently positioned at 38, indicating a lack of momentum. Additionally, the MACD remains in a negative crossover, trading below both its signal line and the zero axis. This combination of indicators suggests a cautious near-term outlook, with momentum still subdued. A strong reversal seems unlikely unless the index decisively breaks through key resistance levels, accompanied by sustained buying pressure. According to O'Neil's methodology of market direction, market status has been downgraded to an 'Uptrend Under Pressure' as Nifty breached its 50-DMA and the 'distribution day count' rose to seven. Nifty 50 continues to trade in a consolidation phase, closing below its 100-day EMA and fluctuating within 24,500-24,800. A sustained move above 24,900 could indicate a bullish breakout, potentially paving the way for an upward move toward 25,300. On the downside, immediate support is seen in 24,480-24,400, where buyers may step in. However, a decisive break below this support could trigger a deeper correction, with the index likely to test 24,200. Price action around these key levels will be crucial in determining the index's short-term direction. How did Nifty Bank perform? On Wednesday, Bank Nifty opened slightly lower at 55,329.80, registering a modest gap-down from the previous close of 55,360.25 amid cautious sentiment. The session remained volatile, with the index swinging between an intraday high of 55,559.40 and a low of 55,227.70, marking a range of nearly 332 points. Despite early weakness, Bank Nifty staged a recovery and settled at 55,411.15, gaining 50.90 points, or 0.09%, on the day. The formation of a small bullish candle on the daily chart reflects buying interest at lower levels, supported by strength in stocks like CANBK, FEDERALBNK, SBIN, and HDFCBANK. The momentum indicator RSI continues to trend sideways and is currently positioned at 37, indicating weakening strength and limited upside traction. Additionally, the MACD has formed a negative crossover, reinforcing the short-term bearish bias. According to O'Neil's methodology of market direction, Bank Nifty is in an 'Uptrend Under Pressure', highlighting a fragile market environment. This classification underscores increasing caution and early signs of institutional distribution, suggesting elevated risk in the near-term outlook. Bank Nifty closed on a positive note. Meanwhile, the index successfully defended the previous session's low, reflecting signs of resilience. A potential reversal from the current levels could propel the index toward 56,400-56,450, where its 50-DMA is positioned. Sustained buying interest above this range may reinforce upward momentum. However, failure to hold the critical support at 55,200 could trigger a corrective move, with the index likely to retest its 100-DMA—about 646 points below the current level—indicating heightened downside risk.

More Secondary Sanctions Ahead: Donald Trump After Additional 25% Tariff Bomb
New Delhi: In a move that has sparked sharp diplomatic responses, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signaled the possibility of more 'secondary sanctions' shortly after announcing an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian imports. This decision, aimed at penalizing India for its continued oil trade with Russia, has raised questions about the US's selective approach to sanctions enforcement. When asked why India was being singled out despite other countries, such as China, also purchasing Russian oil, President Trump responded, "It's only been 8 hours. So let's see what happens. You're going to see a lot more... You're going to see so much secondary sanctions," he told reporters during a White House press briefing. Trump also indicated that similar actions could be taken against China. When asked whether additional tariffs on China were being considered in light of the Indian penalties, he said, "Could happen. It depends on how we do. Could happen." On the same day, President Trump signed an Executive Order imposing an extra 25 percent tariff on goods imported from India. The order, issued by the White House, cited national security and foreign policy concerns, along with relevant trade laws, stating that India's imports of Russian oil, either directly or indirectly, pose an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States. As a result of the Executive Order, the total tariff on Indian imports to the U.S. will now stand at 50 percent. The initial tariff takes effect on August 7, while the additional 25 percent levy will be implemented 21 days later. This additional duty will apply to all Indian goods entering the U.S., except those already in transit or those qualifying for specific exemptions. In response, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a strong statement condemning the move, calling it "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable." The ministry asserted that New Delhi would take "all actions necessary to protect its national interests." The MEA's official statement read: "The United States has in recent days targeted India's oil imports from Russia. We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India." "It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the U.S. should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest," the statement continued. "We reiterate that these actions are unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable. India will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests," the MEA emphasized.
