New Delhi, Jan. 6 -- Stocks to buy for the short term: The Indian stock market benchmark Nifty 50 slipped by about 0.40% in intraday trade on Tuesday, January 6, looking set to extend losses for the second consecutive session. The index fell 0.30% in the previous session on profit booking after hitting a record high of 26,340 on January 2.

The market is struggling to extend gains due to caution ahead of the start of the Q3FY26 earnings season. Moreover, there are no positive developments on the India-US trade deal front. Escalating geopolitical tensions, on the other hand, further weigh on cautious market sentiment.

Experts say investors should focus on picking stocks with favourable technical indicators for the short term.
