Laurus Labs, Indus Towers: Analyst Picks Amid Market Rout
Indian stock markets had a very difficult trading day.
The Sensex and Nifty both fell sharply.
Investors were worried about expensive crude oil, geopolitical tensions and weak markets around the world.
Many foreign investors were also selling Indian assets.
Chandan Taparia said the Nifty could remain weak below 22,800.
He recommended Laurus Labs and Indus Towers 27 October Futures for trading the next day.
His Laurus Labs plan had a target of ₹2,130 and a stop-loss of ₹1,950.
The article reports a target of ₹340 and a stop-loss of ₹372 for Indus Towers, even though its technical description highlighted bearish signals.
The Sensex fell 1,124.02 points, or 1.52%, to 72,771.72, while the Nifty declined 360.25 points, or 1.56%, to 22,780.25.
The sell-off was attributed to rising crude oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty, foreign fund outflows, higher US bond yields and weak Asian markets.
Chandan Taparia recommended buying Laurus Labs with a target of ₹2,130 and a stop-loss of ₹1,950.
Taparia also recommended buying Indus Towers 27 October Futures with a target of ₹340 and a reported stop-loss of ₹372.
Taparia said Nifty weakness could extend toward 22,650 and 22,500 while resistance was placed at 22,900 and 23,000.
