Buy or Sell: Dharmesh Shah recommends buying these two stocks this week
According to analysts, Nifty 50 stuck to rebound gains as the bulls regrouped at session lows indicating ‘lack of bearish conviction’. However, a review of Nifty 50’s advances over time reveals that they were mostly directionless due to a cautious outlook and weak global clues. Amidst the debate between hawks and doves of the Federal Reserve’s ability to achieve its inflation target, sentiments at Dalal Street also stumbled.
On Friday, the 30-share BSE Sensex ended higher by 167.06 points or 0.23% at 71,595.49 level while the Nifty 50 closed at 21,782.50 level, up 64.55 points or 0.3%.

Market Outlook For This Week
The index witnessed range-bound activity as the Nifty 50 oscillated in the 2% range throughout the week. Going ahead, we expect the index to prolong the consolidation in the broader range of 22,000–21,400 ahead of inflation data. This would help to form a higher base above the 50-day EMA and eventually pave the way for the next leg of the up move. In the process, stock-specific action would prevail as we approached the fag end of the earning season. Thus, accumulating quality stocks on dips would be a prudent strategy to adopt as immediate support is placed at 21,400, advised Dharmesh Shah, Assistant Vice President (AVP), ICICI Securities.
“We expect Bank Nifty to extend the consolidation in the broader range of 47,500–44,800 while sustaining above 52 weeks EMA. In the process, we expect public sector undertakings (PSU) banks and housing finance companies to endure their outperformance,” said Shah.
