Israel-Iran war: DMart to Eicher Motors— Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi recommends 3 stocks to buy for the short term
Stocks to buy for the short term: Indian stock market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, crashed over a per cent each in intraday trade on Monday, June 23, as Israel-Iran war escalates further, crude oil prices rise sharply and investors dump riskier equities and rush to safe haven assets. As it is difficult to predict the trajectory of the stock market amid rapidly changing geopolitical scenarios, Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, advises traders to remain vigilant. "A decisive breakout above 25,300 could pave the way for a sustained rally toward 25,500–25,600. Conversely, any faltering near current levels could signal renewed caution. On the downside, immediate support lies at 24,700, with a stronger floor near 24,450. Until confirmation is evident, restraint remains prudent near resistance zones," said Patel. Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of DMart, Eicher Motors and Biocon for the next two to three weeks. Over the past month, Eicher Motors has witnessed a healthy correction of approximately 12 per cent from its recent peak of ₹ 5,906. Notably, the stock has established a firm base over the last 15 trading sessions, consolidating between its 50- and 100-day exponential moving averages — a sign of stabilizing price action. In the latest session, Eicher decisively broke out of a dual descending trendline, supported by a steadily improving Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has consistently held above the 40 mark and now stands at 61.42. "The confluence of favourable technical indicators positions Eicher as an attractive long candidate. Traders may consider initiating positions in the ₹ 5,530–5,480 range, targeting ₹ 5,900, with a stop loss placed below ₹ 5,300," said Patel. Eicher Motors Following a steep decline from its recent high of ₹ 4,557, DMart has entered a consolidation phase, forming a strong base around the confluence of its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages (DEMA). Notably, the stock has triggered a bullish golden crossover, with the 50-DEMA moving above the 200-DEMA — a technically significant development often interpreted as a precursor to upward momentum. Adding weight to the bullish bias, the stock has also broken out of a descending trendline, indicating a potential trend reversal. "Given this confluence of positive technical signals, traders may consider initiating long positions in the ₹ 4,300–4,250 zone, with an upside potential toward ₹ 4,700. A stop loss should be maintained below ₹ 4,100 on a daily closing basis," Patel said. DMart Biocon has recently established a robust base around the confluence of its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages (DEMA), signalling price stability after a period of consolidation. A golden crossover — with the 50-DEMA crossing above the 200-DEMA — further reinforces the emerging bullish sentiment. On June 19, 2025, the stock also formed a bullish harami candlestick pattern, accompanied by a close above the R3 Camarilla monthly pivot, strengthening the technical outlook. This alignment of key indicators suggests a potential upside move. "Traders may consider initiating long positions in the ₹ 353–348 range, with a projected target of ₹ 385. A protective stop loss should be placed below ₹ 332 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively," said Patel.

Sensex crashes 900 points; why is Indian stock market falling after the US attack on Iran? Explained with key factors
Indian stock market witnessed significant losses in early trade on Monday, June 23, with the Sensex crashing over 900 points, and the Nifty 50 falling below 24,850 on a broad selloff amid weak global cues. The Sensex opened at 81,704.07 against its previous close of 82,408.17 and touched an intraday low of 81,476.76, falling over 900 points, or more than 1 per cent. The Nifty 50 opened at 24,939.75 against its previous close of 25,112.40 and dropped over 1 per cent to an intraday low of 24,824.85. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also fell by almost a per cent each. The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms dropped to nearly ₹ 445 lakh crore from about ₹ 448 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors poorer by about ₹ 3 lakh crore within the first 15 minutes of the session. Here are the five key factors that could be behind the market selloff: Fresh escalations in tensions between Israel and Iran have dealt a blow to market sentiment, shattering the belief that the war between Israel and Iran may not linger for a longer period. The US on Saturday struck Iran with a surprise assault on three of Iran's nuclear facilities, which added a new turn to the evolving situation in the Middle East. Experts highlight that the Iranian response to the US attack will hold the key to how the Israel-Iran episode shapes up. "Even though the US bombing of Iran's three nuclear facilities has worsened the crisis in West Asia, the impact on the market is likely to be limited. The uncertain factor now is the timing and nature of the Iranian response. If Iran targets and damages the US defence facilities in the region or seriously hurts US military personnel, the US response can be huge, and this might further worsen the crisis," said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited. According to media reports, Iran's Supreme National Security Council is exploring the possibility of closing the Strait of Hormuz, an important global energy route. According to Bloomberg, roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies pass through this route daily. A closure of the Hormuz Strait would significantly disrupt crude oil supplies, shoot up oil prices, and severely damage the economies of major oil importers like India. Experts believe that crude oil prices above $80 per barrel for an extended period will negatively impact India's fiscal math, distorting its trade deficit. Elevated crude oil prices can also raise inflation, weaken the rupee, increase companies' input costs, and dent their profitability. Brent crude jumped over 2 per cent to trade near $79 a barrel on Monday morning due to heightened concerns of global supply disruption after the US on Saturday attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee declined 17 paise to 86.72 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday. The dollar index jumped nearly half a per cent, weighing on stock market sentiment. A stronger dollar increases the risk of foreign capital outflows, especially at a time when geopolitical tensions make riskier equities less appealing and investors flock to safe-haven assets. Even though the Indian economy is driven largely by domestic consumption, concerns are mounting that it cannot remain completely immune to global developments, and the country's growth dynamics could take a hit as a result. Jaspreet Singh Arora, Chief Investment Officer at Equentis Wealth Advisory Services, pointed out that geopolitical tensions increasingly appear to be the new normal. "It began with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, over two years ago, followed by the Israel-Hamas war. In between, there were flare-ups between India and Pakistan, and now tensions are escalating between Israel and Iran,' said Arora. Besides, tariff-related uncertainties persist. While several major economies have been engaged in negotiations with the US administration since President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners, significant uncertainty remains about how these negotiations will ultimately unfold.

How to find love in NYC? Zohran Mamdani has the most Gen-Z coded dating advice
Picture this: you're wandering through the vibrant streets of New York City – Brooklyn brownstones, Astoria art studios, buzzing coffee shops – not exactly searching for love with a massive placard in your hand, but hoping to bump onto 'real' connections… and all you can think about is how much the grocery store around the block is going to cost you! Well, that's where Zohran Mamdani comes in! The young and popular assemblymember and the NYC mayoral candidate isn't only thinking about giving New York City a real taste of Democratic Socialism – he is also trying to sort out your dating life! How? Proposing policies and winning hearts! Now, searching for love in – as busy a city as NYC is – can seem like an almost impossible wild adventure, but the heart wants what it wants! So, Kaneez Surka, an Indian-origin, NYC-based comedian and content creator, caught up with Mamdani, and popped the most-awaited question! How to find love in NYC? Kaneez kicked things off with a playful note in her caption, saying, 'I'm out there asking Mayoral candidates important questions - If you're single in NYC and looking for love, @zohrankmamdani has solid advice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' And proving her claim true, Mamdani did have some solid advice! In the clip, Kaneez, who has made New York her home, playfully put Zohran on the spot, mentioning his impressive campaign platforms like affordable housing. She then cheekily asked, 'But let's get real—how are you going to help single folks like me find love? What good is 'no cost childcare' if I can't even find a man to have kids with?' With a chuckle, Zohran, who's making history as NYC's first Indian-origin Muslim mayoral candidate, revealed his secret to finding romance: 'First of all, I found my wife on Hinge. So, it still works! Just to let people know!' Surprisingly, Gen Z! But that's not all! Mamdani did not desert the millennials as well! The second trick on his sleeve? He continued with some sage advice, saying, 'Second is, I think we also need to give people more time. A lot of New Yorkers are basically on a hamster wheel of anxiety! There's not much time to sit in the park, to explore your own city. If you're always worried about if you have enough money to make your rent, enough money to pay for your metro card… the love of your life, may currently be stressed about whether they can afford the most expensive city in the United States to find you!' The moral of the story? As Mamdani quoted, 'Affordability is about romance!' And affordable housing, one of the many things Mamadani is rooting for, is part of that grand plan! From campaign rallies to long walks! Mamdani, the son of the acclaimed Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair (Re: The Namesake), shared how he met his wife, Rama Duwaji, who is a talented Syrian-born artist based in Brooklyn. In December 2024, Mamdani and Duwaji out a ring on their relationship in a private engagement and nikkah ceremony atop a Dubai rooftop, near the Burj Khalifa, with only close family around. Earlier this year, in New York, they performed a simple, sweet civil ceremony at the City Clerk's office—a place Zohran calls 'my favorite building in New York,' celebrating public service and privacy all at once. Although Zohran had kept his marriage quite private, he thrilled everyone by making a public debut of Rama on Instagram after right-wing trolls claimed he was 'hiding his wife.' However, Mamdani and Duwaji's love story isn't just about dates – it's built on late-night studio sessions, gallery strolls, and shared creative sparks. In true millennial spirit, their romance shuns pressure and embraces authenticity. Let's unpack how to channel his Gen‑Z‑coded advice and turn NYC into your romantic playground. Read on. Bond over art and culture Zohran and Duwaji's romance blossomed through their mutual love of art, transforming a shared passion into a lasting connection. That story isn't just a politician's anecdote; it's a dating blueprint. Gen‑Z craves emotional resonance, not just aesthetics, and art-infused dates are the perfect setting. Try things like: A 'paint and pour' night in Chinatown or Bushwick: nurture creative chemistry over a canvas, and maybe a glass of wine. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Museum-hop with a twist: instead of just walking, ask each other to write mini love notes inspired by exhibits. Attend an art‑therapy‑style workshop: you'll laugh, you'll bond. It's low‑pressure, emotionally rich, and authentically you, just how Gen‑Z likes it. Speak from your heart Gen‑Z is done with guesswork and 'situationships.' They want clarity, and they want it from day one. On date one: get real! What are your values? Your love language? (Spoiler: it might be quality time or an honest chat, not expensive shows.) Lay your cards on the table: 'I'm here for connection, not flings;' because in the city that never sleeps, authenticity is the ultimate flex. Swipe on digital love, but do so wisely Nearly everyone in NYC starts with swipes, but Gen‑Z doesn't stop there! They read digital body language (DBL) – emoji tone, reply timing, punctuation. Here's how to do it right: Never ghost, but don't reply in nanoseconds either. Aim for thoughtful responses within 1–2 hours. React with a wink emoji instead of a full paragraph; texting is shorthand, not the whole story. When messages deep-dive into feelings, suggest a phone or video call, then an IRL meetup. You're aiming for real chemistry, not just digital vibes. Go slow, steal the show The hustle gets over at day jobs. In romance, Gen‑Z doesn't rush. It's about genuine growth and values alignment. So, Skip the speed-dating hustle. Opt for extended conversations over coffee, museum strolls, and cook-together nights. Ask about your date's dreams, social values, future plans—not just 'What's your favorite pizza?' If life in NYC is stressful, remind each other: there's zero pressure to move in, get engaged, or be Instagram couple goals. Neetu Kapoor shares a homemade remedy to help fight anxiety
