Breakout stocks to buy or sell: Sumeet Bagadia recommends five shares to buy today — 21 May 2025
Breakout stocks buy or sell: Continuing their downward trend for a third straight session, India's key stock indices — the Sensex and Nifty 50 — ended Tuesday, May 20, with sharp declines of more than 1% each, weighed down by mixed global signals and increasing worries about high market valuations.
The Sensex ended the session down by 873 points, or 1.06%, at 81,186.44, while the Nifty 50 declined by 262 points, or 1.05%, to close at 24,683.90.
The decline was widespread, with the BSE Midcap index falling by 1.65% and the Smallcap index ending down 0.96%.
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes that the Indian stock market sentiment is positive as the Nifty 50 index is trading above 24,500.
Speaking on the outlook of Indian stock market, Bagadia said, ' On breaching below 24,500, the 50-stock index would find next crucial support around 200-DEMA of 24,050. So, one should maintain stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that are looking strong on the technical chart. Looking at breakout stocks can be a good option."
Sumeet Bagadia recommends five shares to buy today — Honasa Consumer, eClerx Services, Thomas Cook (India), D P Wires, and BLS E-Services.
1] Honasa Consumer: Buy at ₹ 272.25, target ₹ 292, stop loss ₹ 262;

India moves to conserve its rare earths, seeks halt to Japan exports, sources say
India has requested IREL to halt rare earth exports to Japan, aiming to secure domestic supplies and lessen reliance on China. This decision follows China's export restrictions, which have impacted global industries. IREL intends to expand domestic mining and processing capabilities, seeking partnerships for rare earth magnet production, while India plans incentives for local processing and magnet facilities.

NITI Aayog advocates GM crop imports to boost US-India agri trade amid local safeguards
NEW DELHI: To enhance agricultural trade with the United States, India's government think tank, NITI Aayog, has recommended lowering tariffs on the import of agricultural products such as genetically modified (GM) soybeans and corn from the U.S., while simultaneously protecting sensitive sectors like poultry and dairy. Currently, GM food crops are banned in India and remain under judicial scrutiny. A working paper prepared by NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand also advocates opening the Indian market to specific agricultural products that do not face direct competition from local producers, such as pistachios, almonds, and off-season apples, which do not impact domestic production. The paper notes that India has traditionally maintained a surplus in agricultural trade with the U.S. In the coming years, India will need to expand its market access to increase its exports. To achieve this, India should strategically open up to U.S. imports to maximise its export gains. The ongoing negotiations between the two countries for a bilateral trade accord are seen as the best opportunity to reset a long-term trade relationship.
