Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend four shares to buy today — 18 June 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: After rising for two straight sessions, the Indian stock market paused and finished lower on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index ended 92 points lower at 24,853, the BSE Sensex finished 212 points lower at 81,583, while the Bank Nifty index lost 230 points and closed at 55,714. The Nifty Mid-cap and the Nifty Small-cap Indices underperformed the benchmark, where the Nifty Mid-cap 100 Index fell by 0.66%, while the Nifty Small-cap 100 Index corrected by 0.69%. Market breadth remained weak for the fourth consecutive day, with declining stocks outpacing advancing ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 0.60.
Sectorally, it was a sea of red, except for the Nifty IT sector, which managed to stay in positive territory. The Nifty Pharma, Healthcare, Metal, and Consumer Durables indices were among the major losers. The Nifty Pharma Index took a hit, falling nearly 2% following warnings from US President Donald Trump about imminent tariffs on pharmaceutical imports.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Nifty 50 index, after witnessing a significant pullback in the last two sessions, found resistance near the 25,000 zone and with profit booking seen witnessed a gradual slide to end near the 24,850 level with bias and sentiment maintained with a cautious approach as of now. As mentioned earlier, the index would have the crucial support zone near the 24,500 zones and would need a decisive move above the 25,200 level to trigger a fresh further rise in the coming days."
"The Bank Nifty index succumbed to profit booking during the session and slipped as the day progressed to close near the 55700 level, once again finding resistance near the 56000 zone, a crucial resistance zone. The index has been precariously placed and would need a decisive move above the 56000 zone to turn the bias positive. At the same time, we would need to sustain the near-term support positioned near the 55000 level to maintain the overall trend intact," Shiju Kuthupalakkal of Prabhudas Lilladher said.

India-UK free trade pact provides stability, predictability to business: Piyush Goyal in London
'A free trade agreement brings stability and predictability to the relationship between two countries,' said Goyal. During a session at the India Global Forum (IGF) UK-India Week titled 'Agreement to Action in the UK-India FTA', the minister shared his optimism around the 'good marriage' agreed between both the countries, which will lead to doubling the bilateral trade in five years. London, Jun 18 (PTI) The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) brings 'stability and predictability' for businesses in both the countries, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday. 'That gives confidence to business to start investing in each other's economy and I think this will also pave the way for greater investments in the two economies, add to our trade in goods and services… India and UK can partner in innovation to work together to bring more resilient supply chains, working with each other, complementing each other and adding value and profits to both countries,' he said. Earlier in the day the minister arrived in London on a two-day visit to discuss with his UK counterpart Jonathan Reynolds the next steps towards implementation of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), and explore ways to boost trade and investment between the two countries. In their first joint public intervention since the FTA negotiations concluded last month, Reynolds said he was 'genuinely excited' about the prospects opened up with the FTA. Reynolds had told the House of Commons last week that the trade deal is estimated to increase bilateral trade in the long run by GBP 25.5 billion every year – from the current annual estimate of GBP 41 billion – as tariffs are slashed across key sectors on both sides. 'This trade agreement is a huge economic win for the UK — the biggest trade deal since Brexit and the best deal that India has ever offered,' Reynolds had told the Parliament. On the Indian side, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry highlighted significant positive gains for employment in the country, offering a substantial improvement in competitiveness of Indian goods in the UK vis-a-vis other countries as well as easing mobility for professionals. The FTA, announced on May 6 with a target to double trade between the two economies to USD 120 billion by 2030, is now undergoing a process of legal text formalisation before it can come into force. 'Both leaders will review the progress made in the ongoing FTA negotiations and chart out a clear, time-bound roadmap for its finalisation and implementation,' the commerce ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. During his two-day UK visit, Goyal is also set to hold talks with Chancellor Rachel Reeves to discuss macroeconomic priorities, financial cooperation, and investment facilitation between the two countries. Besides, the minister is scheduled to meet Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy to explore avenues of collaboration in creative industries and innovation-driven sectors. 'These engagements will bring together global business leaders, investors, and policy experts to deliberate on the strategic contours of the India-UK economic corridor and the transformative impact of the proposed FTA,' the statement said. Also, the minister is expected to interact with leading CEOs and industry stakeholders from key sectors, including shipping, fintech, logistics, and advanced manufacturing, with a view to deepening commercial linkages and promoting cross-border investments. Goyal is also set to address a session on 'UK-India Science, Technology and Innovation Collaboration' at IGF London on Thursday. The bilateral trade between India and the UK increased to USD 21.34 billion in 2023-24 from USD 20.36 billion in 2022-23. PTI AK RR HVA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
