Crude Oil Price
Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities said, Crude oil prices surged for the fifth consecutive session in international markets after the U.S. Defense Department announced over the weekend that it will deploy a guided missile submarine to the Middle East, as the region braces for potential attacks on Israel by Iran and its allies. The escalating tensions in the Middle East have overshadowed concerns about Chinese demand. Additionally, better-than-expected U.S. and German economic data released last week also provided support to crude oil prices. However, ongoing worries about Chinese demand and fears of a U.S. recession could potentially limit further gains. We anticipate that crude oil prices will remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at .30-76.60 and resistance at .70-79.20. In INR terms, crude oil has support at ₹ 6,610-6,550, with resistance at ₹ 6,755-6,810.

Trading Strategy Today
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities: Our call suggests a rally may be on the horizon, but Nifty bulls could hold off ahead of the crucial July US CPI report on August 15th. Yesterday's session saw Nifty struggle amidst Hindenburg-Sebi-induced volatility, yet the recovery hints at potential buying opportunities on intraday dips, with confirmation of strength above 24,630. The most positive news this morning is India's retail inflation cooling to a nearly five-year low in July, falling below the RBI's 4% target for the first time in years. Key Q1 results today include All Cargo, Apollo Hospital, and Hindalco, among others. Preferred trades include buying Nifty at current levels, targeting 24,500/24,630, and Bank Nifty between 50,100-50,300, with targets up to 51,967. We're also bullish on Bajaj Auto, Exide Industries, and TVS Motors, with TVS signalling a strong upside breakout.
