Stock market today: Gift Nifty hints flat start; US-Iran Peace deal, gold, silver to crude oil prices - 8 stocks to buy

Indian markets are set to open flat-to-positive on Wednesday after extending their winning streak for a third session, with Sensex closing 544.15 points higher at 76,808.48 and Nifty 50 gaining 135.25 points to 23,989.15. The positive momentum is supported by easing geopolitical tensions following a proposed US-Iran peace deal and a sharp decline in crude oil prices to around 75-76 dollars per barrel. However, caution persists ahead of the US Fed policy meeting and over weak monsoon progress, which could weigh on rural demand.
