Closing Bell!Vinay Rajani of HDFC Securities suggests these stocks to buy for short-term
At 14:24 IST, the Nifty 50 index was at 25,037 . 50, up by 68.70 points or 0.28 percent, while the BSE Sensex was trading at 82,020.49, reflecting an increase of 262.76 points or 0.32 percent. In the early trading session, both indices fell back, reversing their initial gains.
This decline followed three straight weeks of losses and marks ten months since Indian indices last reached their all-time highs in September 2024.
Analysts suggest that the stalled progress in the fifth round of India-US trade negotiations is undermining investor confidence.
The Nifty 50 concluded last week with its third consecutive weekly decline, finding resistance at its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and extending its short-term downtrend by forming lower tops and lower bottoms on the daily chart. Over the past two trading sessions, the Nifty 50 has attempted a recovery from the crucial 50-day EMA support at 24,937, a level that has remained unviolated since April 2025. A decisive close below this 50-day EMA could significantly weaken the Nifty 50's technical setup. The recent swing high of 25,255 is anticipated to serve as a strong resistance level for the index.
Globally, Asian, emerging, and developed market indices continue their uptrend. In contrast, Indian markets have underperformed year-to-date, with the Nifty 50 gaining only 4% compared to significant surges in markets like KOSPI, Hang Seng, and Taiwan, which have soared 30%, 25%, and 24% respectively. This strong technical setup in global markets could potentially act as a tailwind for Indian equities.
Despite the recent correction, the Nifty 50's long-term bullish trend remains intact, as the index continues to hold above its 100-day and 200-day EMAs. The current decline appears to be a corrective phase within a broader uptrend. Previous swing lows between 24,500-24,600 are expected to provide strong support and should be considered opportune levels for initiating fresh long positions. Looking ahead, sectors such as Metal, Consumption, and FMCG are poised for strong performance in the coming months and warrant inclusion in investment portfolios.
JSW Infra share price has broken out from symmetrical triangle pattern on the weekly chart. Price rise was accompanied by a jump in volumes. Stock price has been sustaining above 50 DEMA and 200 DEMA. Weekly RSI has reached above 50, indicating a sustainable up trend. Weekly MACD is now placed above signal and equilibrium line.
ETF has surpassed 50 DEMA resistance. Price has also broken out from a downward sloping trend line on the daily chart. The price breakout is accompanied by jump in volumes. The price chart has formed a strong base near 21.50 and has turned bullish. Daily RSI has reached above 50, indicating sustained uptrend for the underlying. Daily MACD has given positive crossover on its signal line.

India-US trade deal: What's holding back the agreement and risks of further delays? Explained
India-US trade deal: The Indian stock market is navigating rough terrain, in contrast to Western markets, particularly the US, which is hitting record highs as progress on trade deals with major partners has eased earlier investor concerns about rising inflation and its potential spillover effects on the world's largest economy. As the US signed trade deals with major economies, with the latest being Japan and the Philippines after inking deals with Indonesia and Vietnam, which are key economies in the Asia region, the discussion with India is still ongoing. Despite multiple rounds of negotiations, an official announcement continues to be delayed. Earlier, the potential deal was expected to be announced before July 09, after the White House and Trump himself stated that an agreement with India would be finalized. However, the White House is reportedly demanding greater access for agriculture, dairy, and genetically modified (GM) products, which is delaying the signing of the deal, a demand New Delhi is reportedly denying in order to protect farmers. In addition, India is seeking tariff rates lower than those granted to other Asian nations that have already signed deals with the US, in a bid to gain a competitive edge. Meanwhile, the delay in concluding the deal is also dampening sentiment in the Indian stock market, with investors awaiting full clarity before the next leg of the rally, resulting in frontline indices trading in a tight range for most of July. According to Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset, markets are currently grappling with three simultaneous overhangs—uncertain US trade policy, relentless FII selling, and uninspiring Q1 earnings. While the US recently signed a trade deal with the Philippines, talks with India remain stuck. Dasani highlights Washington's dual stance: on one hand, it's pursuing selective trade alignments; on the other, it's threatening up to 500% tariffs on countries trading with Russia. This, he explains, puts India in a complex position, facing scrutiny for importing discounted Russian oil while still being courted for strategic cooperation. "But Washington cannot afford to alienate both India and China. The longer it delays a decisive stance, the closer India, China, and Russia move, which could be a geopolitical nightmare for the US. Meanwhile, markets dislike ambiguity. Investors are pricing in volatility not because of bad news, but due to the absence of clear direction," said Dasani. Dasani further adds that a tariff hike below 20% on Indian goods might even be digested positively by the markets, while anything higher could trigger a knee-jerk reaction. The Street is well aware the US cannot sustain such elevated tariffs without inviting domestic backlash or triggering inflationary pressure. He also points out that FIIs have already pulled out over ₹ 22,185 crore in July alone, a move driven largely by a strengthening dollar and elevated US bond yields, adding to the pressure on Indian equities. Q1 earnings, he says, have been mixed, with autos and banks under pressure while healthcare and capital goods have shown resilience. In this environment, positioning in domestic, policy-linked themes like defense, railways, and power, along with selective accumulation in small caps, remains the best course. Clarity—not comfort—will drive the next leg, he stated. Sankhanath Bandyopadhyay, Economist at Infomerics Valuation and Ratings, said, "The delay in finalising a US-India trade deal underscores the complexity of balancing economic pragmatism with domestic sensitivities. For India, agriculture and dairy aren't just trade sectors; they are the backbone of rural livelihoods, impacting over 700 million people." Meanwhile, the US is pushing hard for access to India's high-tariff markets, especially in the agri- and digital sectors, while raising tariffs on Indian steel, aluminum, and auto exports. Unlike recent US trade partners like the UK or Vietnam, Sankhanath pointed out that India is not willing to concede on politically critical sectors and is instead negotiating from a position of strategic autonomy. However, he cautioned that prolonged delays in concluding the deal could carry risks, which include lost export competitiveness, retaliatory tariffs, and a dent in the broader U.S.-India strategic alignment, including tech and defense cooperation.

Air India, despite mounting losses, sees FY25 revenue inching closer to Indigo's
Mumbai: Air India has inched closer to India's largest airline, IndiGo, in the three years since the Tata Group brought the nationalised carrier back into its fold. Air India's revenue in 2024-25 jumped 15% to ₹ 78,636 crore from ₹ 66,556.21 crore in FY24, after combining the finances of Air India, Tata SIA Airlines Ltd, Talace Pvt. Ltd—making the airline among the largest contributors to Tata Group's ₹ 15.3 trillion topline in FY25. Indigo, operated by Interglobe Aviation", saw its revenue rise to ₹ 84,098.2 crore in FY25 from ₹ 68,904.3 crore in the year before. However, Air India was the largest lossmaker for Tata Group in FY25, with its loss widening to ₹ 10,859 crore from a combined loss of ₹ 7,356.3 crore for the three related entities in FY24, according to Tata Sons' latest annual report. Talace and Tata SIA, or Vistara, were merged under the Air India banner in FY25. Talace was a wholly owned Tata Group subsidiary created for the purpose of acquiring Air India from the Indian government. After buying back the airline in 2022, Tata Sons chair N. Chandrasekaran hired former Singapore Airlines executive Campbell Wilson to lead Air India. Wilson's 5-year revival strategy, started in September 2022, includes refitting old planes, buying new planes, increasing Air India's domestic market share to at least 30%, and expanding its international routes. Air India currently has a domestic market share of 26-27%, behind IndiGo, which dominates with a 64-65% market share. Apart from a $400 million refit programme for upgrading 67 legacy aircraft, Air India, at the 2023 Paris Air Show, signed deals worth $70 billion to buy 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing. In December 2024, Air India placed an additional order for 100 Airbus planes, taking itstotalnumber of aircraft ordered to 570. Deliveries from these orders are expected to be completed by 2030. However, last month's crash of Air India's AI-171 Boeing flight, which killed all but one of the 242 people on board and 19 others, may have pushed back the airline's revival plans. India's aviation trends: Bengaluru beats Mumbai, IndiGo pulls ahead and more Meanwhile, India's aviation industry is expected to post a net loss of ₹ 2,000-3,000 crore in FY26, according to rating agencyICRA. Domestic air passenger traffic, however, is projected to grow by 7-10% to 175-181 million this financial year, after growing at 7.6% to 165.4 million in FY25. ICRA maintained a stable outlook for India's aviation industry in its May report. However, it warned of potential risks due to rising crude oilprices, closure of Iranian and Pakistani airspace for Indian carriers, and a possible increase in insurance premiums after the Air India crash. Operating costs of domestic airlines are also likely to have increased in recent months due to flight cancellations and other disruptions following the India-Pakistan tensions, but overall passenger traffic and ticket prices have remained steady so far, according to the rating agency.
