Stocks to BUY Today

Stocks to BUY Today: Indian equities are expected to open on a weaker note on Friday (July 24), taking cues from the weak US market close and sluggish Asian markets. Adding to the concerns, the Gift Nifty also indicated a lower opening. The weaker opening is primarily being attributed to rising oil prices.

As of 8:15 am, the Gift Nifty was down 0.9 per cent, or 210 points, at 23,653. Gift Nifty is widely regarded as a leading indicator of the Nifty 50’s opening, as its overnight trading often signals the expected direction of the Indian market at the opening bell.

Ahead of the session, SEBI-registered Research Analyst Kunal Bothra has identified 23,500 as a key support level for today’s trading session, while 24,000 is expected to act as resistance for the NSE’s benchmark index.

Despite weakness across global equity markets and Indian equities, brokerages have highlighted a few stocks that may offer trading opportunities on July 24.

  • Citi raises target to Rs 5,800; maintains BUY rating.

NSE, BSE on July 23

The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 363.66 points, or 0.47 per cent, to settle at 76,391.39, dragged down by heavyweight stocks such as Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, and Bajaj Finance.
