🔮 Today’s Trading Strategy
- Crude oil below $73: Strong buy signal for OMCs (BPCL, HPCL, IOC) and Aviation (IndiGo, Air India). Lower crude = margin expansion
- Banking & Finance: Continue positive bias. Bank Nifty reclaimed 57,000+. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank — stay long above support
- IT Sector: Cautious. Nifty IT at 27,500 faces JPMorgan downgrade headwinds. Wait for Q1 FY27 results (July) before fresh buying
- Avoid Sensex expiry window (2–3:15 PM): Close or reduce positions before expiry window to avoid volatility
