Stocks to buy for short term: Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities suggests BEML, CreditAccess shares; do you own?

Stock market today: Indian benchmark indices began the week on a positive note on Monday, bolstered by strong foreign investor inflows and favorable signals from the global market.

At 14:25 IST, the Nifty 50 index increased by 114.25 points to hit 24,460.95, reflecting a gain of 0.47%, while the Sensex rose by 287.19 points to reach 80,789.18, marking an increase of 0.36%.

Experts believe this marks a significant shift in FII strategy and will provide stability to the market. Nevertheless, there are concerns about India's potential retaliatory measures following the terrorist strike and their implications. This apprehension may limit the rally driven by FII investments.

On the technical side, Nagaraj Shetti from HDFC Securities suggests that the current short-term trend for Nifty 50 is favourable, and a lasting breakthrough above the 24,600 mark could lead to an upward movement towards the 24,800-25,000 range in the near term.
