Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50, Trump tariffs, Q1 results today; Eight stocks to buy or sell on Monday
Stock Market Today: During the week ended 1 August 2025, the benchmark Nifty-50 index ended more than 1% lower at 24,565.35, amid Trump tariff uncertainties. The Bank Nifty, at 55,617.60, also ended more than 1% lower, while Realty and Pharma were among the key underperformers, though FMCG and Industrials were among the key outperformers. Mid and small caps also saw significant pressure during the week. For the Nifty-50 Index, the zone of 24400–24350 is expected to act as an immediate support for Nifty. A sustained break below this could further accelerate the downside. On the flip side, the 50-day EMA zone of 24900–24950 now stands as a crucial hurdle, said Sudeep Shah, Vice-President & Head of Technical and Derivatives Research, SBI Securities. Going ahead, for Bank Nifty, the zone of 55200-55100 will act as an important support, as per Shah. Volatility is expected to remain high in the coming week amid key central bank decisions, corporate earnings announcements, and trade-related developments. While a defensive stance may be prudent in the short term, selective accumulation in fundamentally strong stocks on dips can offer favorable long-term opportunities. Sectors vulnerable to global volatility—especially IT and metals—should be approached with caution until greater clarity emerges around U.S. trade policy and macroeconomic trends. Given the prevailing technical weakness and external uncertainties, disciplined risk management and prudent position sizing will be essential for traders, said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts—Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking; Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Anand Rathi; and Shiju Koothupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher—recommended these eight intraday stocks for today: CCL Products (India) Ltd, Trent Ltd, Biocon Ltd, Marico Ltd, Central Depository Services (India) Ltd, TVS Motor Company Ltd, Genus Power Infrastructures Ltd and Waaree Energies Ltd.
