Stock market news: Indian stock indices ended the week on a lower note on Friday, responding unfavorably to Q1FY26 earnings from the finance and IT sectors, despite some positive signals from global markets.
By the end of trading, the Sensex fell by 501.51 points, or 0.61%, closing at 81,757.73, while the Nifty 50 dropped by 143.05 points, or 0.57%, to finish at 24,968.40.
Throughout the week, Indian equity markets showed a mixed performance, with both the Nifty 50 Index and Sensex sliding by 1%, whereas small-cap stocks gained 1.4% and mid-caps increased by 1% in the same period.
Investors are now looking forward to updates on trade negotiations with the US as the August 1 deadline approaches, following President Donald Trump's previous remarks suggesting that a deal with India is nearly finalized. Analysts predict that the markets are likely to see a significant change only after a concrete resolution is reached in the trade discussions with the US.
Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Securities expects Nifty 50 to find supportive efforts in the vicinity of 24,800 zone and gradually stage a rebound wherein 25,800 would continue to act as resistance. Shah has recommended two stocks to buy for short-term. Investors should consult experts before making decisions. Here's what he expects from Indian stock market next week, along with his stock recommendation.
Equity benchmarks extended losses over third consecutive week in the absence of clarity on India - US bilateral trade deal. Nifty 50 lost 0.7% to settle the week at 24968. However, broader showed resilience, outperforming by gaining 1% during the week. Sectorally, Realty, PSU Bank, Auto remained at forefront while Defence, IT extended losses. The weekly price action formed a small bear candle carrying lower high-low, indicating extended breather.
In the upcoming week, volatility to remain elevated as one third of Nifty 50 weightage is coming out with the Q1 earnings post market hours on Friday along with that any development on the US bilateral trade agreement would trigger momentum in the market. With current 2.9% correction, Nifty 50 has approached lower band of rising channel. We expect index to find supportive efforts in the vicinity of 24,800 zone and gradually stage a rebound wherein 25,800 would continue to act as resistance.
Despite weakness in the benchmark, the market breadth has seen improvement as currently 65% of stocks of Nifty 500 universe are trading above their 200 days SMA compared to last week's reading of 60% while last month reading was 52%. The consistent improvement in the market breadth signifies inherent strength.
Structurally, since April intermediate corrections have been limited to 3% while sustaining above its 50 days EMA. In addition to that, over past 14-days index has retraced 61.80% of preceding 11-days 5% up move. Slower pace of retracement indicating robust price structure that bodes well for next leg of up move. Hence, focus should be on accumulating quality stocks on dip backed by strong earnings as strong support is placed at 24,500 being confluence of 100 days EMA and June month low.
a. Earnings update from index heavy weights would be important to watch out for.
b. All eyes will be on outcome of US-India bilateral trade deal.
c. Falling US Dollar index would result into FII's inflow.
d. India VIX has extended losses and sustaining below one year low of 12, indicating participants anxiety at lowest level.
Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Securities recommends buying JSW Energy, and Chalet Hotel shares this week.
1. Buy JSW Energy shares in the range of ₹ 523- 535. He has JSW Energy share price target of ₹ 572 with a stop loss of ₹ 509.

Companies in Hyde are really lucky to have Genome Valley: Estonian Ambassador to India Ms Marje

Hyderabad, July 25 (UNI) Estonian Ambassador to India Ms. Marje Luup today said that our business delegation, which had a three-day visit already, visited the Genome Valley in Hyderabad where we spent a couple of hours and also saw the vaccine production. ' I really have to compliment Hyderabad for having this kind of park. I would say that the companies in Hyderabad are really lucky to have this kind of Genome Valley', Ms Marje told reporters here. During the three-day visit, she said that our delegation met the dignitaries of Telangana, including Governor Jishnu Dev Varma and Minister for IT Sridhar Babu and Chief Secretary Rao and the Special Chief Secretary. In addition, we had a lot of interaction with private companies, the Ambassador said that we brought biotech companies delegation in 2022, and now it has been three years, so this time we came again with a business delegation, and we have the representatives of Estonian health tech cluster, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) cluster, and AI and Robotics. These representatives are here and we have been trying to identify the possible collaboration areas with the companies here in Telangana, she said investments can work from both sides, so of course we are always welcoming Indian investments into Estonia, and we are also looking for possibilities for our companies to invest here. To a question, she said it is not only about export or investments, but also it's about collaboration of different companies in different software solutions, for example. To find out the possibilities for both sides of the businesses to have some useful new developments, she said the trade relations between Estonia and India, then there are quite a lot of traditional groups like we are importing timber, we are importing also Estonian cheese is available on the Indian market, Estonian liquors are available. Machinery we are exporting and some metals as well. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of potential in our trade. The trade is too small but it could be much bigger in numbers, she said 267 million euro bilateral trade covering merchandising and services. We had many very good discussions about possible cooperation in biotech and in ICT, she said Estonia is one of the frontrunners in ICT and Cyber security is also one of our strengths. So, these possibilities we have discussed, but also in engineering, and we have been also talking about usage of AI, she said that we have the representative of the health tech cluster, then there has been a lot of interest towards different solutions in Estonian health system. 'We have a patient portal, for example, where the data is stored electronically. We have an e-prescription, which can be used nowadays in nine countries of Europe, the Ambassador said that there are no paper prescriptions anymore in the country . The data is digitally disregarded. If you go to different doctors, they can access your data from the patient's portal. The data is always there, she said. In the case of cyber security, she said we are now 100% digital. Then we also have to protect our data. This is the reason why we have developed so much in cyber security. We have created a 'data embassy' in Luxembourg. So it's dubbing everything in our databases in Estonia. And this is rather a unique solution in the world and we are the first country to use the data embassy, she said. Reliance has invested in our country and it has a research and development center in Estonia, she said. When asked about any companies coming up from India to invest, she said ' yes' that some developments are in progress and I can't mention the names yet. But the biggest ones which are already present in Estonia certainly are Reliance and K-Champ. 'We have more than 4,000 e-residents from India in Estonia and they have established more than 1,000 companies in Estonia. All of those companies are not active, but most of them are, she said. And for Indian businesses, it's a possibility to enter the European market and also the Scandinavian market, which are big and quite rich markets, the Ambassador said. Data centers also have potential in terms of education. Data center is, come take a seat, she said some data centers are already working and enlarging their capacities. The ambassador was accompanied by a higher powered delegation including Mr Svewn Aulik, Ms Madli Rahuvarm and Ms Katre Ekjas –experts in health, ICT , e-governance, Cybersecurity, AI and robotics.
