Indian Stock Market Ends with Significant Losses Amid Global Energy Supply Shock

The Indian stock market ended with significant losses on Monday, April 13, as sentiment turned fragile after the US-Iran ceasefire talks failed and US President Donald Trump announced the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of a global energy supply shock.

The benchmark Sensex suffered a loss of 703 points, or 0.91%, to end at 76,847.57, while the NSE counterpart Nifty 50 dropped by 208 points, or 0.86%, to close the day at 23,842.65. Technical experts believe 23,500 remains an important near-term support for the Nifty 50, as this level coincides with the 20 DEMA. On the upside, the 24,000 – 24,100 zone is an immediate resistance area.

Market experts suggest investors should bet on quality stocks with healthy fundamentals and favourable technical indicators. Vishnu Kant Upadhyay of Master Capital Services and Aakash Shah of Choice Broking recommend the following six stocks to buy for the next 1-2 weeks.
