Stocks to buy: Prabhudas Lilladher recommends these 3 technical picks for short term

Stocks to buy: The Indian stock market benchmark, the Nifty 50, cracked almost 3 per cent in the morning session of trade on Monday, August 5, on an across-the-board selloff amid weak global cues. Investors appeared nervous amid growing concerns of a recession in the US and rising tensions in the Middle East.

The Nifty 50 opened at 24,302.85 against its previous close of 24,717.70 and dropped 3.2 per cent to the level of 23,921.65 during the session.

Experts remain optimistic about the Indian stock market for the medium to long term. However, they expect the market to remain volatile for the short term due to global news flows.

At this juncture, they recommend betting on quality stocks with strong fundamentals and favourable technical signals. 

Shiju Koothupalakkal, a technical research analyst from Prabhudas Lilladher, recommends three stocks to buy for the next three to four weeks. Take a look:
