On stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three intraday stocks for today and those three day trading stocks are Bharat Forge, Havells India and Wockhardt. On outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty, after opening on a positive note near the 19,850 zone, eroded the gains as the day progressed and slipped into the red to end near the 19,650 zone." She said that market mood has turned cautious as Nifty once again failed to breach this crucial hurdle.
"Bank Nifty also failed to move past the important level of 46,300, which has been acting as tough resistance for the last six sessions and has been witnessing profit booking, which further slipped Bank Nifty down to close below the 45,700 zone. However, the support for the day is seen at 65500/19500, while the resistance is seen at 66800/19800. Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 45200–46200 levels," said Parekh.
