The Bank Nifty index will likely move in the 55,000 to 56,400 range.
Vaishali Parekh recommended three buy-or-sell stocks for Wednesday: Tube Investments, Godawari Power and Ispat, and Coal India.
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Parekh said, 'Nifty, after the strong run witnessed in the last 2 weeks, finally halted near 24,200 zone taking a breather and hovered near the important 200 period MA at 24,050 taking support with bias maintained positive having the near-term significant support positioned near 23,800 zone which once sustained, can expect for further upward move in the coming days.'
'The undertone has been maintained strong and with the trend getting stronger, one can anticipate positive gains in the coming days with higher targets visible,' said the stock market expert.
'Bank Nifty, extended the gains further but witnessed some resistance near the 56,000 zone after the overheated sessions witnessed in the last 2 weeks and some profit booking cannot be ruled out in the coming sessions. The zone near 55,500 level would be the near-term support for the index which if sustained, thereafter can expect for further upward move in the coming days with the upside targets of 56,200 and 57,500 levels, still open for the index,' said Parekh.
Parekh said that the Nifty 50 Spot for today has support at 24,000 points and resistance at 24,300 points. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 55,000 to 56,400.

Donald Trump imposed ‘sanctions on India' to end war in Ukraine, says White House
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that US President Donald Trump took several actions, including the secondary tariffs on India, to bring the war in Ukraine to an end. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserted that Donald Trump wants to move forward and bring the war in Ukraine to an end as quickly as possible.(AFP) This reiteration comes as a top US official said that India made "huge" profits on the sale of Russian oil during and after the war in Ukraine, and Trump said that his sanctions on New Delhi probably played a role in Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting him. Addressing a press briefing, Leavitt said, "The President has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close. He has taken actions as you seen sanctions on India and other actions as well. He has made himself very clear that he wants to see this war and he has rejected the ideas of others that have been raised that we should wait another month before any meetings takes place." She asserted that Donald Trump wants to move forward and bring the war in Ukraine to an end as quickly as possible. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, with the former signalling his openness to a trilateral meeting with Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. Trump said that he had a very successful day, while Zelensky noted that this was the "best conversation" he had with the US President so far. Scott Bessent on India tariffs US treasury secretary Scott Bessent, while speaking to CNBC, argued why China has not yet seen any penalties for buying Russian oil, while the case for India has been otherwise. He said that the treatment is different because India has been "profiteering" and "making billions" from its reselling of the oil. Bessent said India had "less than 1 per cent" of its oil from Russia "and now its up to 42 per cent". He added, "India is just profiteering, they are reselling... They made 16 billion in excess profits, some of the richest families in India." "This is a completely different thing. Indian arbitrage, which is buying cheap oil and reselling it, has just sprung up during the [Ukraine] war. This is just unacceptable," Bessent added. Top US advisor criticises India over Russian oil trade Meanwhile, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro criticised India for purchasing Russian energy and defence equipment, pledging to "hit India where it hurts" to get New Delhi to change its policy. He termed India's oil trade with Russia 'opportunistic' and 'corrosive' to global efforts being made to end the war in Ukraine and isolate the Russian economy. 'As Russia continues to hammer Ukraine, helped by India's financial support, American (and European) taxpayers are then forced to spend tens of billions more to help Ukraine's defence. Meanwhile, India keeps slamming the door on American exports through high tariffs and trade barriers. More than 300,000 soldiers and civilians have been killed, while Nato's eastern flank grows more exposed and the west foots the bill for India's oil laundering,' Navarro wrote in an opinion piece for the Financial Times. Before his meeting with Putin in Alaska last week, Trump had told a Fox News Radio show that his 'penalty' on India prompted the Russian President to meet him, saying that "everything has an impact". The US President said that when he told India about the doubled tariffs, it "essentially took them out of buying oil from Russia". He noted that India is the second largest purchaser of Russian oil and said it was getting pretty close to China, the largest buyer of oil from Russia. Before Trump doubled India's tariff to 50 per cent by imposing an additional 25 per cent levy on the previously announced 25 per cent, he said that India was "fueling the war machine" by buying oil from Russia.

Why India Can't Accept China's ‘Zero-Tariff' Offer Despite Its Market Appeal
New Delhi: After U.S. President Donald Trump signalled the possibility of higher tariffs on Indian exports, China renewed its pitch to bring India into a zero-tariff Asian trade market. Extending access to a massive consumer base, the offer has been positioned as a strategic opportunity. Analysts say the proposal, however, could pose a far more significant challenge for India than Trump's tariff threats. India's market is enormous. A population of 1.4 billion, coupled with a growing middle class and strong purchasing power, makes it one of the most attractive markets in the world. Global powers cannot achieve maximum economic leverage in the region without India's participation. In response to the rising pressure from Washington, China has once again invited India to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Beijing has been lobbying for New Delhi's inclusion in the RCEP since 2019, offering zero tariffs as a key incentive. Still, India has repeatedly declined. It is wary of Beijing's ambitions and the potential risks to its domestic industries. Understanding RCEP The RCEP is a free-trade agreement encompassing 15 countries: 10 ASEAN members and five of their Free Trade Agreement (FTA) partners – China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The RCEP is the world's largest trade bloc, representing nearly 30 percent of global GDP and covering roughly three billion people. The agreement aims to simplify trade rules, reduce barriers and integrate the markets of its member nations. Signed in November 2020, the RCEP came into effect on January 1, 2022. Its primary goals include lowering or eliminating tariffs, easing non-tariff restrictions and facilitating cross-border investment and commerce. China's Perspective China's state-run Global Times highlighted India's growing vulnerability due to its heavy reliance on the U.S. market, especially in light of Trump's proposed 50 percent tariff increases. The newspaper argued that diversifying toward Asian markets could not only mitigate risks but also provide India with strategic flexibility and greater market opportunities. According to the daily, India must actively explore alternative markets. Asia's expansive economies and untapped potential could provide India with a more stable path for growth. The paper suggested that joining the RCEP would represent a critical step toward restructuring India's trade orientation within the region. The publication also emphasised 'long-term benefits'. Over next 10 to 15 years, it says, RCEP's zero-tariff framework could apply to 90 percent of goods. For India, the daily says, this could act as a protective buffer against the volatility of U.S. trade policies, while opening access to a dynamic and growing market. India's Concerns India has consistently expressed reservations about the RCEP. The government believes the agreement does not adequately reflect India's interests and could have unbalanced outcomes. A primary concern is the potential impact on domestic industries. Cheap imports from China and other Asian nations could flood the Indian market, undermining local manufacturing and making it difficult for Indian products to compete. China's production efficiency exacerbates this risk. India had proposed mechanisms to limit imports of certain goods exceeding set thresholds, but negotiations failed to yield consensus. India also faces a significant trade deficit with China, which reached $99.2 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Joining the RCEP without safeguards could worsen this imbalance. For China, India's inclusion is both an economic and geopolitical priority, supporting regional dominance and the Belt and Road Initiative. India continues to prioritise national interests, self-reliance and strategic autonomy. The government aims to maintain control over supply chains and assert a strong position in any scenario that may challenge its trade or geopolitical stance vis-à-vis China.
