Stocks to buy: Kotak's Amol Athawale recommends three shares

The stock market is a place where people can buy small pieces of big companies, called shares.

On Wednesday, prices in India's main stock markets fell for the second day in a row.

People were worried because of a possible deal between the United States and Iran, and about an important shipping route called the Strait of Hormuz.

Higher oil prices and waiting for new inflation numbers also made investors nervous.

A market expert named Amol Athawale, who works at Kotak Securities, said the market is being supported at a level called 24,300.

He told investors that if the market stays above that level, prices could move higher.

He suggested three stocks to buy for the next one to two weeks: Bank of Baroda, CDSL, and Prestige Estates.

For each one, he gave a target price, which is where he thinks the price might rise to.

He also gave a stop loss, which is the price at which investors should sell to avoid bigger losses.

These are expert recommendations based on charts, but they do not guarantee that prices will go up.
