Stocks to buy for short term: Nagaraj Shetti suggests SJVN, Berger Paints shares; do you own?

Stock market today: The Indian stock market experienced widespread buying, which propelled the Sensex and Nifty 50 benchmarks to rise by more than 1% during intraday trading on Thursday, June 5.

The Sensex started at 81,196.08, compared to its prior close of 80,998.25, and surged over 900 points, or 1%, reaching an intraday peak of 81,911.13. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 commenced at 24,691.20 against its previous close of 24,620.20 and climbed over 1% to an intraday high of 24,899.85.

Market analysts suggest that investor optimism is driven by potential advancements in the India-US trade agreement and expectations for a rate reduction by the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).

Over the past several weeks, Indian stock markets have outperformed global indices as volatility persists in international markets due to looming US reciprocal tariffs. Moreover, a favourable inflation report in India has also provided some support to domestic equity indexes.

Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities expects Nifty 50 short-term trend remains positive and the next overhead resistance to be watched at 24,850. Nagaraj Shetti recommends SJVN, and Berger Paints shares to buy in the near-term.
