Amid volatile market trend where the Sensex and Nifty are off over 10 per cent from their lifetime highs, stock specific moves by investors will ensure they rule the roost and among these have emerged SpiceJet, Motherson Sumi and some other shares. In Tuesday's trade, the benchmark indices were trading lower tracking negative global cues as an escalating trade spat between the United States and China and a renewed slump in tech shares such as Amazon.com sapped investor confidence. However, the fall in Indian markets was lower as compared to Asian and US markets. Wall Street tumbled sharply with key indices slipping below their 200-day moving averages and the S&P 500 closing below that pivotal technical level for the first time since Britain’s vote to leave the European Union in June 2016. At 11:50 am, the Sensex was trading at 33,196, down 58.83 points, while the broader Nifty50 was ruling at 10,188, down 23.35 points. Here are the key stocks where broking firms see potential gains:
