With no clarity yet on what happens to Russia and Ukraine with the US, uncertainty persists over whether the additional 25% tariffs on India will come into effect from August 27 or not.<\/p>\n<p>The second major announcement was from Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s Independence Day Address, promising &#8220;generational&#8221; GST reforms before Diwali, and that could keep most of the GST-linked stocks from Autos to FMCG in focus today. Higher levels, though, continue to remain a challenge, with last week&#8217;s high of 24,702 continuing to remain a barrier, and that will be the first level to cross before the Nifty moves towards its 20-DMA.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, the 24,500 &#8211; 24,550 levels have emerged as a strong support as of last week.
