SUMMARY

Indian shares are set to start August on a weak note, tracking sluggish Asian stocks, following US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell's fresh comments on global slowdown, coupled with simmering US trade tensions. On Wednesday, the Fed suggested that policymakers were not embarking on a new cycle of rate-cutting after it trimmed interest rates by 25 basis points. At 7.30 AM, the SGX Nifty futures traded 50 points, or 0.45 percent, lower at 11,071, indicating a negative start for the Sensex and the Nifty 50. In the previous session, Indian benchmark indices ended higher, after two straight days of losses. Here are the top stocks to watch out for on August 1:
