Bet on Hero Moto, Swiggy; go for Gold BeES in an uncertain market: Rahul Sharma

Rahul Sharma
, Director & Head - Technical & Derivatives Research,
JM Financial Services
, suggests keeping an eye on Nifty levels of 24,450 and 24,200. Sharma advises hedging portfolios with Gold BeES amid geopolitical instability. Gold is expected to perform well during war escalations. Investors should consider increasing positions in
Gold BeES ETF
for diversification. Hero Moto and
Swiggy
are identified as promising stocks for long-term investment. These stocks show potential for growth.
Looking at the market, what are the specific picks that you have for our viewers today?
Rahul Sharma:
It is an interesting time for the market. We are seeing Nifty exhibiting range-bound trade. We are seeing crude oil jumping up. Gold has started rallying and war is something that the market is keeping a close eye on. So, in case the escalations do happen, we expect volatility to creep back into the markets. Keep an eye on these two levels of the Nifty, the first one is 24,450 and the second one is 24,200. As long as these two levels are intact, the range bound scenario should continue.

In case you want to hedge your portfolio, we are advising clients to get into Gold BeES. Whenever there has been geopolitical instability or whenever there has been escalations on the warfront, gold has been a saviour and this time around also we expect it to be the same. As a hedge, one can look to increase positions or add positions on gold BeES which is an ETF, essentially gives a diversification on the asset class and apart from that, the two stocks that look good on the long side are Hero Moto and Swiggy.
Hero Moto has been consolidating around the Rs 4350-4400 mark since the last few days and we feel structurally the stock is still pretty strong. One can look to buy at these levels for a target of Rs 4775, even Rs 4,800 and a stop loss can be placed at Rs 4149. So, Hero Moto is the one stock that we are recommending to clients.
Apart from that, Swiggy is another trade which we are advising clients to buy in delivery. The stock can be bought at these levels for a potential upside target of Rs 400 on the upside in the short term and stop loss can be placed at 365. These are the two ideas that can be initiated apart from the gold BeES investment that we have recommended, especially given the next 10-15 days where the uncertainty is at its peak.

What is your take on the overall auto pack because after a while we are seeing this sector making a comeback. Hero MotoCorp is one of your preferred bets, but other than that, even
Eicher Motors
, the top gainer in Nifty 50, M&M,
Bajaj Auto
counters are bucking the trend after a while now.
Rahul Sharma:
Yes, you nailed it. In fact, we are seeing some green shoots on the auto side. So, to begin with, it is a two-wheeler auto space which is exactly the reason why we are recommending Hero Moto. Even Eicher Motors is looking pretty good on the charts. We feel that Rs 5,700-5,800 is very much on the cards provided the Nifty does not really get into a throw down mode from the current range bound setup.
Eicher looks good from these levels. It can be bought at Rs 5,400 and overall we feel that auto pack at least is showing some signs of green shoot. From the four-wheeler auto pack, M&M looks formidable and this can head its way to a relatively smaller target around Rs 3,200. We are expecting this in the short term. We are advising clients to be very stock specific and at the same time unless and until, Nifty does not come out of this range-bound setup, it is best to avoid leverage positions and stay in cash or to delivery-based investments.

Solution to import dependence on vegetable oil does not lie in hiking MSP

India's pulses and vegetable oil imports touched a record 7.3 million tonnes (mt) and 16.4 mt, valued at $5.5 billion and $17.3 billion respectively, in 2024-25. Some of that may have had to do with the strong El Niño-induced drought of 2023-24, whose effects on food inflation extended right up to December 2024. It forced large-scale imports — in the case of pulses, from an average of 2.6 million during 2018-19 to 2022-23 to 4.7 mt and 7.3 mt in the following two fiscals. But the same cannot be said about vegetable oil imports, which have more than doubled from 7.9 mt in 2013-14. It's quite possible that pulses imports will reduce considerably in the current fiscal, assuming a normal monsoon. But that's unlikely with vegetable oils, where rising imports have attained a structural inevitability similar to petroleum crude and natural gas. In pulses, scientists have bred shorter-duration chana (chickpea) and photo-thermo insensitive moong (green gram) varieties, enabling farmers to grow these with minimal irrigation or in all four seasons. Much of the increased domestic pulses production after 2015-16, notwithstanding the setbacks of the last two years, has been courtesy of chana and moong. It has, then, limited the need for imports mainly to arhar (pigeon-pea) and urad (black gram): In a normal year, India can produce roughly 90 per cent of its consumption requirement. Such effort has been woefully lacking in oilseeds. Take soyabean, where the average per-hectare yield in India is hardly one tonne, compared to 2.6 tonnes in Argentina and 3.4-3.5 tonnes in Brazil and the US. Not allowing genetic modification in soyabean or mustard, with potential for raising yields, hasn't helped either. It's not surprising that the import dependence in vegetable oils is well over 60 per cent — and, at the current pace, set to rise further. The solution does not lie in hiking minimum support prices (MSP). MSPs have no meaning unless accompanied by physical procurement as with rice and wheat. But even that has limitations. The latest MSP for soyabean, at Rs 5,328 per quintal or $615 per tonne, is way above the landed cost of $400-450 for the same from Brazil and the US. What the government can do is to assure oilseeds and pulses farmers of a minimum income support, while setting this at a reasonable level that incentivises them to grow and even expand acreages under these crops. But there is no substitute ultimately for increasing yields and reducing cultivation costs — which has unfortunately not happened in oilseeds, unlike with rice, wheat or sugarcane.

Strong demand, stable activity in economy

India's economic indicators are becoming more supportive of growth, according to the report released by Motilal Oswal Private Wealth (MOPW) on Friday. The report highlights that several positive trends are emerging on the domestic front, including higher GDP growth, easing inflation, and strong tax GDP grew by 7.4 per cent in the fourth quarter of FY25, which is the highest reading in the last four has remained below 4 per cent for four consecutive months, and GST collections have been rising steadily. These signs indicate strong demand and stable activity in the formal sector of the report also notes that India's policy environment is now moving in a unified direction. Fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies are all aimed at maintaining growth increased tax exemption limits that came into effect from April 2025 are expected to improve disposable incomes and boost the same time, the government's capital expenditure continues to rise, supporting the investment the global front, the environment remains mixed. In April and May, markets faced worries over tariffs and geopolitical tensions. However, the situation improved with a delay in global tariff implementation and a ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan. This improved global sentiment has helped global equity markets, with the MSCI World Index reaching record highs. Meanwhile, rising bond yields in Japan and China's shift towards gold show that global investors are moving away from US could become a concern as the US faces refinancing of $9 trillion in debt this a weaker Dollar Index could help emerging markets like India by attracting more foreign investments. In the Indian stock market, valuations have increased as earnings have not grown at the same Nifty-50's one-year forward valuation has risen above its long-term average, and mid and small-cap stocks continue to trade at a premium. This makes careful stock selection and active management more important for investors looking to generate higher returns, the report stated.
