Market Overview
On July 14, 2025, the Nifty50 index experienced a volatile trading session, closing down 0.27% due to losses in the IT and financial sectors. Weak earnings reports from TCS and a cautious outlook for the IT sector impacted investor sentiment, causing the Nifty IT index to decline by over 1%. Financials also saw profit-booking before crucial earnings announcements. New tariffs announced by the U.S. on imports from the EU and Mexico further dampened global risk appetite. The broader market remained in a state of consolidation as investors awaited Q1 earnings.
The Nifty 50 exhibited continued volatility, opening lower and weakening throughout the day. The daily chart displayed a bearish candle, characterized by a "lower-high, lower-low" pattern.
Previous Stock Picks
On July 15, 2025, MarketSmith India's top two stock picks were in the power sector and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd. The power sector pick was based on strong power trading volume recovery, diversification into renewable energy, and asset monetization. Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd was recommended due to strong AUM and revenue momentum, robust SIP growth, a diversified product line, and positive industry tailwinds.
