thebalanced.newsIndian Markets Decline Amid US-Iran Tensions; Select Stocks Recommended for Gains
Indian equity markets faced pressure amid escalating US-Iran tensions and rupee weakness, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 closing lower on May 8. Analysts noted sustained selling in financial stocks and technical indicators signaling potential further downside if Nifty remains below 24,200. Despite this, select stocks like Coforge, NBCC, Polycab India, and Paytm are recommended by experts for near-term gains, supported by strong fundamentals and market share growth. Investors are advised to remain cautious and selective amid geopolitical uncertainties.
