class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The hawkish Fed strengthens the dollar and weakens the rupee, boosting the rupee value of dollar-denominated revenues for IT exporters. Infosys (+1.23%, CMP Rs 1,157.70) and TCS (+1.09%, CMP Rs 2,223) are the two direct plays. Kunal Singla watches Rs 1,195 for Infosys (stop Rs 1,130) and Rs 2,300 for TCS (stop Rs 2,160).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oil_and_Gas_Pick_The_Crude-Fall_Trade\"><\/span><strong>Oil and Gas Pick: The Crude-Fall Trade<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>BPCL (+1.87%, CMP Rs 317.95) carries two catalysts in the same direction.

The key rule for Thursday: wait for the Fed-reaction opening gap to settle, and treat each stop on the best shares to buy today as a hard exit, not a guideline.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #CC0000; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information and live market feeds as of the close of trade on 12 June 2026.

Each carry a specific catalyst, a defined stop loss and a live Univest price page. Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla at Univest identify them on the basis of sector leadership, momentum and risk-reward.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_today_a_good_time_to_find_the_best_shares_to_buy_today\"><\/span><strong>Why is today a good time to find the best shares to buy today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The Nifty 50 closed at 24,081.95 on 17 June 2026, breaking above 24,000 for the first time this week. The US Fed overnight removed the last projected rate cut and lifted hike odds to 66 percent, creating specific sector trades that make the best shares to buy today particularly actionable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_sector_offers_the_best_shares_to_buy_today\"><\/span><strong>Which sector offers the best shares to buy today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> IT carries two picks through Infosys and TCS, which benefit from the hawkish dollar weakening the rupee. Oil and Gas carries BPCL as the crude-fall trade. Pharma and Banking provide defensive exposure through Sun Pharma and HDFC Bank on a volatile expiry session.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_share_to_buy_today_for_short-term_gains\"><\/span><strong>What is the best share to buy today for short-term gains?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Eternal and BPCL are the strongest short-term candidates in today&#8217;s session. Eternal was the Nifty 50&#8217;s top gainer at 1.89 percent on strong volume and BPCL gained 1.87 percent with two independent catalysts. Both carry well-defined stop levels and a live catalyst that extends into Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_identify_the_best_shares_to_buy_today\"><\/span><strong>How do I identify the best shares to buy today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Look for sector momentum, a specific identifiable catalyst, a clean technical setup and a risk-reward of at least 1.5 to 1. Never buy any share on the best shares to buy today list without a stop loss in place and never average a losing position.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_risks_when_buying_shares_today\"><\/span><strong>What are the risks when buying shares today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Thursday 18 June is the Fed-reaction day and the Sensex weekly expiry. The opening gap can move sharply in either direction based on overnight GIFT Nifty cues. Entering before the first 15 minutes settle increases risk considerably for each pick on the list.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Nifty_above_24000_a_positive_signal_for_the_best_shares_to_buy_today\"><\/span><strong>Is Nifty above 24,000 a positive signal for the best shares to buy today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes. The Nifty closing at 24,081.95 above 24,000 is a constructive breakout signal. A sustained hold above 24,000 after the Fed reaction confirms the move.
