The Indian stock market extended its losing streak, with Sensex and Nifty 50 closing slightly lower for the seventh straight session on Monday, weighed down by persistent foreign investor outflows and weakness in banking stocks. The Sensex slipped 61.52 points to 80,364.94, while the Nifty 50 fell 19.80 points to 24,634.90, marking a 3% drop across the seven-day decline.
Analysts note that investors are staying cautious ahead of the RBI’s interest rate decision later this week, with Nifty expected to trade in the 24,500–24,850 range. Concerns over global trade dynamics and FII outflows are also adding to the volatility.
Against this backdrop, here are four stocks worth tracking in today’s market session:
Relaxo Footwears Ltd. [NSE: RELAXO]
Relaxo Footwears Ltd continues to be a structurally strong player in India’s mass footwear market. Belonging to the leather sector, the company enjoys robust brand equity with products catering to both urban and rural demand, and its long-term growth is underpinned by India’s rising consumption story.
With consistent dividend payouts, resilient demand across categories, and scale advantages, Relaxo positions itself as a steady defensive play in consumer discretionary. Investors with a long-term horizon may consider this stock for gradual accumulation, especially as it trades closer to the lower end of its 52-week range.
