Short-Term Stock Picks: Buy Jindal Stainless, M&M; Sell Adani
The Indian stock market had a difficult week and the Nifty fell for seven weeks in a row.
On September 28, the Nifty also dropped sharply during the day.
One technical analyst said the market could remain uncertain because of higher bond yields, expensive crude oil, a weaker rupee and selling in financial stocks.
He suggested buying Jindal Stainless because its price appeared supported, with a possible target of ₹800.
He suggested buying Mahindra & Mahindra because its chart showed signs that buyers might return, with a target of ₹3,180.
He suggested selling Adani Enterprises because its upward momentum appeared to be weakening.
Each recommendation included a stop-loss level to limit potential losses.
These are technical trading views, not guarantees of what the stocks will do.
