Buy, Sell or Hold: What should investors do with MRPL, HDFC and GAEL?

The Indian domestic equity market extended losses for the fifth straight session as it witnessed huge selling pressure in closing hours amid volatility on Tuesday. After opening in the green on Tuesday, benchmarks Nifty 50 and S&P BSE Sensex dropped more than 1% on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tension and hyperinflation due to soaring crude & metal price weighed on the market.  

The broader Nifty50 slipped below 17 000-mark, while the Sensex declined by more than 700 points as IT sector continued to lead the downtrend following sectorial headwinds highlighted in weak Q4 results.  

A quick sell-off was witnessed during the closing hours led by banking stocks due to FII selling as the global market weakened.

In the broader market, Nifty midcap and small cap indices 1.3% and 1.6% respectively as India VIX closed near 20-mark on Tuesday.  

Sector-wise, IT, FMCG, Realty and Financial Services were worst hit, while oil & gas stocks attracted some buying interest in an otherwise weak market.  

Meanwhile MRPL, HDFC and GAEL were in focus on Tuesday.  Mangalore Refinery closed 9% higher after trading on fresh 52-week high, HDFC dropped more than 5% and Gujarat Ambuja Exports gained 5% on Tuesday.
