Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today — 23 July 2025
All sectoral indices closed in the red, with IT, auto, PSU banks, pharma, media, and realty falling between 0.4% and 2%. Broader markets also witnessed weakness — the Nifty Midcap 100 declined by 0.6%, while the Nifty Smallcap index performed slightly better, slipping 0.3%. Meanwhile, market fear and volatility continued to ease, as reflected in a 3.5% drop in the India VIX to 10.75.
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market sentiment is positive. The Nifty 50 index has sustained above the psychological 25,000 levels after bouncing back from the 50-DEMA support of 24,900. However, the Prabhudas Lilladher expert maintained that the key benchmark index is facing a hurdle of 24,250 and predicted more upside once the 50-stock index breaks above 25,250 on a closing basis.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index witnessed consolidation near the 25,100 zone, maintaining above the important 25,000 zone with bias overall remaining intact. One can expect a revival in the coming sessions. As mentioned earlier, the index would have the near-term resistance at the 25,250 zone, which needs to be breached decisively to improve the bias further and retest the 25,650 level to strengthen the trend. The 24,900 zone shall remain as the major and crucial support for the index, which needs to be sustained as of now."
"The Bank Nifty index, after opening on a positive note, fizzled out resisting near the 57,200 zone and with profit booking seen witnessed a gradual slide to end near the 56,700 zone with bias maintained intact, having the strong support near the 56,000 level, which has been sustained as of now. On the upside, the index would need to breach above the resistance zone of 57,600 level, as we have been mentioning, and thereafter, can expect fresh higher targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels in the coming days," said Parekh.
"The support for the day is seen at 24,900, while the resistance is seen at 25,300. The Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 56,200-57,300," Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher concluded.
Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three buy-or-sell stocks: ABFRL, Exide Industries, and Nykaa.
1] ABFRL: Buy at ₹ 76, Target ₹ 80, Stop Loss ₹ 74;
2] Exide Industries: Buy at ₹ 393, Target ₹ 405, Stop Loss ₹ 388; and
3] Nykaa: Buy at ₹ 220, Target ₹ 228, Stop Loss ₹ 215.

US-China tariff truce holds, ‘unprecedented' deal with Nvidia, and more
On Monday (August 11), US President Donald Trump extended his country's tariff truce with China for an additional 90 days, till November 10. Discussions between senior officials in Stockholm in late July had previously hinted at another extension, even as higher US tariffs have been imposed on several countries of late, including India. However, that doesn't mean all is smooth sailing in China-US trade, and the race for dominating the artificial intelligence domain saw something quite unusual this week. The Financial Times reported that the US government allowed the semiconductor giant Nvidia to sell previously restricted AI chips to China, if they agreed to pay a certain percentage of the sale to the government. Last week, we noted the reports of Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely visiting China next month for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. Now, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is expected to visit India on August 18 for the Special Representative-level talks (the SR mechanism is for discussing border issues) with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The Wall Street Journal also reported this week that Liu Jianchao, a key Chinese diplomat, was picked for questioning by authorities. Then on Friday, Reuters reported that a deputy to Liu, Sun Haiyan, was also detained. We wrote about Liu and what such 'disappearances' say about the Chinese establishment here. Bloomberg also reported that amid the greater bilateral engagements under the recent normalisation in India-China ties, direct flights may be resumed soon. Here is a closer look at these developments: A statement from the White House said that the tariff pause will provide time for 'remedying trade imbalances' and 'unfair trade practices'. 'Each round of negotiations with the Chinese has built on each other… to work toward fair and balanced trade with a key trading partner,' it said. Trump was also quoted as saying, 'We're getting along with China very well.' UPSHOT: An editorial in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mouthpiece Global Times appreciated the development: 'This shows that China and the US are managing differences and expanding cooperation in an equal, pragmatic and constructive way.' That high tariffs were unsustainable in the long run was clear from the get-go, but many assumptions have been proven wrong. For example, the US has been the one to repeatedly ask China to come to the negotiating table, and China has been the only nation to counter with its own tariffs on the US — indicating both the intention and ability to challenge its actions. Simultaneously, the latest US economic data shows inflation remained moderate, despite the initial fears of American consumers quickly being impacted. There are several reasons for this, like the eventual lowering of tariff rates, but the prevalent view remains that the effects will show at some point. As the GT article noted, 'Data shows that China's exports to the US have declined for four consecutive months.' It would thus make sense for both sides to push for a settlement. Almost exactly a month ago, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang visited China. Around the same time, the company announced it was filing applications 'to sell the NVIDIA H20 GPU again', saying the US government assured it of requisite licenses. Now, Nvidia has agreed to pay the US government 15 percent of the money made from selling H20 chips to China, the FT reported on Monday. Another US chipmaker, AMD, will do the same for its MI308 chip revenues. Altogether, the deal was estimated to bring about $2 billion to the government, The New York Times said. UPSHOT: The US government restricted both these chips in April this year, over concerns that they would help accelerate the pace of AI development in China, and their potential military applications. This was seen as a progression of the Joe Biden-era restrictions on advanced AI chips being sold to China. In fact, the lower-quality H20s were designed to circumvent the directive. Huang had previously argued for allowing the sale, saying it was causing a US company to lose market share and allowing Chinese companies like Huawei to fill the gap. However, critics argued that China would stand to gain a significant strategic advantage with Nvidia products. This is also why the latest deal has been described as 'unprecedented'. Liza Tobin, a China expert who served on the National Security Council in the first Trump administration, told the FT, 'What's next — letting Lockheed Martin sell F-35s to China for a 15 per cent commission?' Notably, China has previously demanded the entry of H20s, but it may be changing its stance now, given its indigenous push to become self-reliant. A state media-affiliated author recently wrote an article criticising the H20. 'When a type of chip is neither environmentally friendly, nor advanced, nor safe, as consumers, we certainly have the option not to buy it,' he wrote. The country's cyberspace regulators also summoned Nvidia officials 'over concerns that its H20 artificial intelligence computing chips could be tracked and turned off remotely'. Wang Yi is set to visit India next week. Separately, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that 'India and China are set to resume direct flight connections as soon as next month', citing people familiar with the negotiations. Flights were first restricted amid the Covid-19 pandemic. UPSHOT: Both developments come amid the larger normalisation process that was officially set in motion last October. It was followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping meeting during the BRICS summit in Russia. Wang's visit is notable for another reason — it's the first high-level official visit by a Chinese leader to India after Operation Sindoor. Notably, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar visited China just a few weeks after the conflict with India, where the countries affirmed their 'brotherly' and 'ironclad' relationship. However, India and China also have several outstanding bilateral issues, most importantly concerning the Line of Actual Control (LAC) that serves as the de facto border. The 2020 LAC stand-off also contributed to limited flights and visa approvals, as well as people-to-people exchanges. As The Indian Express earlier reported, in January-October 2024, the total number of flyers (in both directions) between India and China was over 4.60 lakh. This marked a drastic fall from close to a million in the corresponding months of 2019. Beijing also perhaps expects to benefit from a resumption, as Chinese carriers held a dominant share of the direct flight market before the pandemic. However, Air India and IndiGo would also likely want to capitalise on it if resumption happens.

US says ties with India good despite Trump's tariff tantrums
TOI correspondent from Washington: The Trump administration on Friday maintained that the "historic relationship" between India and the US is "consequential and far-reaching" despite taking punitive steps over trade issues that shaken and undermined ties. The upbeat message came from the State Department on the occasion of India's Independence Day. While such statements are typically pro-forma, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the two countries are "united by our shared vision for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific region" and described the partnership as spanning industries, promoting innovation, pushing the boundaries of critical and emerging technologies, and extending into space. "Working together, the United States and India will rise to the modern challenges of today and ensure a brighter future for both our countries," he said. The statement, with its reference to Indo-Pacific security and a broader agenda, seemed to confirm the impression that the wide berth given to China by the Trump White House and its sudden embrace of Pakistan is largely tactical, and US-India ties remain on solid footing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kharadi's Only Fully-Automated Homes Codename Kharadi Plus Learn More Undo Key Indian officials have said on background that the White House and rest of the administration don't seem to be in sync because outside of the trade and tariff issue, it is business as usual on all other fronts, including close cooperation in critical security and mil-tech areas. Among other things, right in the middle of the trade spat, India and US conducted a joint space mission involving ISRO and NASA, launching the satellite NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) on July 30 to monitor changes on Earth's land and ice surfaces and generate data for understanding natural hazards and climate change. Indian companies are also on track -- barring more mishaps -- to receive from nVidia advanced Blackwell chips for AI that the US has been blocked for China. The State Department issued a similar statement a day earlier on Pakistan's independence day but it was conspicuously narrower in scope, focusing on counterterrorism, trade, and exploiting Pakistan's purported resources. "The US deeply appreciates Pakistan's engagement on counterterrorism and trade. We look forward to exploring new areas of economic cooperation, including critical minerals and hydrocarbons, and fostering dynamic business partnerships which will promote a prosperous future for Americans and Pakistanis," the message said. According to knowledgeable sources, the White House's tactical embrace of Islamabad is largely driven by private business interests aimed at exploiting Pakistan's purported natural resources, including oil, gas, and minerals. A Trump family-backed firm with ties to the "Pakistan Crypto Council" that Islamabad drummed up out of the blue reportedly fired up new ardor in Trump White House for a country that President once said was a haven for terrorists. While the outreach is ostensibly aimed at drawing Pakistan out of the Chinese stranglehold, another new argument is that Washington needs Islamabad to counter Iran, the new US bogey now that Afghanistan has returned to the dark ages. But the American commentariat is largely unanimous in saying the White House move has badly damaged US-India ties, possibly irreparably despite the State Department's buoyant message on Independence Day. "Even if Trump again reverses course, the damage has been done. Indians believe that the United States has shown its true colors: its unreliability, its willingness to treat its friends badly. They will understandably feel that, to hedge their bets, they need to stay close to Russia — and even make amends with China," Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's GPS program said on Friday, adding that the country is "united in its shock and anger at Trump's insulting behavior. "
