Stock market today: Gift Nifty hints a weak start; eight day trading stocks to buy on Tuesday, 21 July

Indian markets are set to open weak on Tuesday as Gift Nifty trades around 24,124, a discount of over 100 points from the previous close. The previous session saw the Sensex fall 442.93 points to 77,708.52 and the Nifty 50 decline 95.80 points to 24,238.50, weighed by escalating US-Iran tensions, Strait of Hormuz disruptions, and continued FPI selling. Brent crude was at $88.89 per barrel while the US Dollar Index hovered near a one-week high at 100.96, with analysts flagging the 24,000-23,800 zone as immediate support for the Nifty.
