A bullish divergence on the hourly chart suggests that downside momentum is fading and buyers are gradually stepping in. On the daily timeframe, both the short-term and long-term MACD have produced a bullish crossover above the zero line — a powerful signal hinting at a potential trend reversal.These technical factors collectively point to improving strength and increase the probability of an upward move toward ₹975. Traders may look to build long positions in the ₹920–₹910 zone.Coromandel – Support at 200-DEMA/SMA + Long-Term MACD DivergenceBuy near: ₹2215–₹2200 | SL: ₹2095 | Target: ₹2450 | Time Frame: 90 DaysCoromandel has taken strong support at both the 200-DEMA and 200-SMA — a zone that has historically acted as a reliable demand area for long-term buyers. The long-term MACD has formed a bullish divergence, indicating weakening downside momentum and the possibility of a trend reversal. Price action is gradually showing early signs of recovery, while the 25-period ROC on the hourly chart has turned positive, affirming improving momentum.Given this confluence of technical signals, the stock presents a favourable risk–reward opportunity in the ₹2215–₹2200 zone for a potential move toward ₹2450.DOMS – Breakout Above 2580 + Momentum Revival Through MACDBuy near: ₹2580–₹2540 | SL: ₹2450 | Target: ₹2800 | Time Frame: 90 DaysDoms Industries Ltd has established a strong base within the ₹2500–₹2580 consolidation zone, reflecting sustained accumulation at lower levels. On 14-11-2025, the stock confirmed a decisive breakout above the ₹2580 mark, signalling fresh buying interest and a likely continuation of the prevailing uptrend. This breakout is further supported by a bullish MACD crossover above the zero line, indicating strengthening momentum on the higher timeframes.With both price structure and momentum indicators aligning positively, DOMS offers a robust setup for an upside move toward ₹2800.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts are their own.

IIP sees 4.8% YoY growth in January; manufacturing & electricity support rise – The Times of India
India’s Index of Industrial Production saw a 4.8% increase year-on-year in January 2026, according to the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation. The rise in industrial output was largely driven by a 4.8 per cent expansion in manufacturing and a 5.1 per cent improvement in electricity generation. Mining activity also supported overall growth, registering a 4.3 per cent uptick during the month.Estimates placed IIP at 169.4 for January 2026, compared with 161.6 in January 2025. This follows a stronger reading in December 2025, when industrial production had grown by 7.8 per cent. For January 2026, the sector-specific indices stood at 157.2 for mining, 167.2 for manufacturing and 212.1 for electricity.Within manufacturing, 14 of the 23 industry groups at the NIC two-digit level posted year-on-year gains in January. The strongest contributors were manufacture of basic metals, which rose 13.2 per cent; manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, up 10.9 per cent; and manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products, which increased 9.9 per cent. Growth in basic metals was supported by items such as flat products of alloy steel, MS slabs, and hot-rolled coils and sheets of mild steel.The automobile category advanced on the back of higher output of auto components and spare parts, commercial vehicles, and bus and minibus bodies or chassis. In the non-metallic mineral products segment, cement of all types, cement clinkers and stone chips were key contributors.According to use-based classification, output of primary goods grew 3.1 per cent, capital goods rose 4.3 per cent and intermediate goods increased 6 per cent compared with January 2025. Infrastructure and construction goods recorded the sharpest rise at 13.7 per cent, while consumer durables expanded 6.3 per cent. In contrast, consumer non-durables declined by 2.7 per cent. The ministry identified infrastructure and construction goods, intermediate goods and primary goods as the leading drivers of growth under this classification.
There might also be a more direct impact on food. “Some elements of crude oil are used in fertiliser, and so there could be a cost implication in terms of food prices,” Benjamin Goodwin, partner at banking advisory firm PRISM Strategic Intelligence told the BBC.
