Stock market today: Gift Nifty hints a flat start; eight day trading stocks to buy on Tuesday, 28 July

Indian markets are set for a flat to muted opening on 28 July, with Gift Nifty trading around 23,963-23,986, indicating a small discount to the previous close of Nifty futures. The previous session saw the Sensex rally 776 points and the Nifty 50 gain 228 points, snapping a five-day losing streak. Global cues are supportive with crude oil prices declining sharply on easing US-Iran tensions, while gold remains firm above $4,000 per ounce and analysts cite the 24,000-24,150 zone as a critical resistance for the Nifty 50.
