Top 5 stocks of the day: Nifty stocks
After staying around the 14 mark for almost a month, the Nifty volatility index rose as high as 8.5% to 14.815. Stocks of Adani group companies plunged 2% to 7% after short-seller Hindenburg Research said that it has short positions in those companies through US-traded bonds and non-Indian-traded derivative instruments.
The Nifty is still trading in the 17,800 to 18,200 region, so it may be a good time to buy stocks when it reaches the 17,800 mark, which is a decent support right now, according to Dasgupta.
