Stocks To Watch: IndiGo, Ola Electric, Vedanta, HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank, NBCC, And Others

Stocks to Watch on December 17: Markets traded in a narrow range on the weekly expiry day and closed lower, tracking weak global and domestic cues. Analysts continue to maintain a consolidation outlook on the Nifty. However, sustained weakness in the rupee could widen the trading range and potentially drag the index below the previous swing low near 25,700.

“On the upside, the 26,000–26,100 zone remains a key hurdle. In the current environment, we continue to recommend a stock-specific trading approach, with a preference for hedged positions given the prevailing volatility and choppy market conditions,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research, Religare Broking.
