[vc_section el_id=”blog-inner-layout”][vc_row overlay_dotted=””][vc_column el_class=”blog_primary”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]At around 9:25 am IST on August 21, 2025, Indian equity indices<\/a> opened in the green, continuing their upward trajectory for a sixth consecutive session. The Nifty 50<\/a> advanced by 0.2% to 25,106.5, while the Sensex<\/a> climbed 0.3% to 82,067.85, bolstered by strength in financial stocks following a fresh proposal to make insurance premiums tax-exempt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recent rally, driven by optimism around potential GST restructuring and an S&P upgrade to India\u2019s credit outlook, has seen the benchmarks gain nearly 2% over the past five sessions. Meanwhile, global markets remain watchful ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s annual Jackson Hole symposium, where policymakers may offer cues on the future course of interest rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid all this, investors are advised to keep an eye out for these stocks: <\/span>Poly Medicure and Tata Consultancy Services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tata Consultancy Services<\/a> (TCS) remains a stock to watch today despite recent reports of large-scale layoffs and employee unrest.

<\/span>Conclusion<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Stock trading does not offer guaranteed returns. To make informed trading decisions, consider a company’s fundamentals, including revenue growth and earnings stability, as well as sector performance and market trends. Look for stocks with high liquidity and volatility that match your trading style (day trading or swing trading). Focus on strategies like technical analysis (chart patterns, indicators like MACD and RSI) and fundamental analysis (earnings reports and news catalysts).<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a proper risk management strategy is equally important to minimise losses. Use stop-loss orders and position sizing to protect your capital. Develop a trading plan with clear entry and exit criteria based on your risk tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n
