Shares to buy or sell: Rajesh Palviya of Axis Securities suggests these three stocks to buy, hold, and accumulate today

Stock Market News: On Friday, the domestic benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, started the day on a positive note, buoyed by a rally in other Asian markets. The Nifty 50 index opened at 23,411.80 points, reflecting a gain of 61.90 points or 0.27%. Meanwhile, the Sensex commenced trading at 77,349.74 points, up by 193.95 points or 0.25%.

Experts suggest that the markets remain cautious, with the results of the Maharashtra elections over the weekend expected to influence stock movements. Additionally, there was notable selling pressure from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) yesterday, particularly affecting stocks from the Adani group.

Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, has provided insights into current market trends that are worth noting. He observes that the ongoing escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war, highlighted by Russia firing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, could have repercussions on global markets. Additionally, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been engaged in relentless selling, marking a record of 37 consecutive days of outflows. Despite this, the market has only seen a correction of about 11% from its peak in September, indicating that we are experiencing a correction rather than a crash.

Interestingly, the broader US market remains bullish, boasting a year-to-date return of 25.43%. These elements combined suggest that the overall market undertone is still positive, presenting opportunities for investors amidst the current volatility.
