Buy or sell: Gift Nifty signals flat opening, Vaishali Parekh recommends three intraday stocks to buy today

Gift Nifty indicates a flat opening for Indian markets, oscillating around 24,000 as improving US-Iran geopolitical backdrop offsets global tech volatility.

WTI crude is trading in the $81 to $82 per barrel range, easing inflation concerns.
