The India VIX jumped over 10 percent, broader markets fell harder than the headline indices, and the US Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate decision, due out of its September 15-16 meeting, is still pending. With Brent crude close to 110 dollars a barrel adding to the pressure, intraday stocks for today are best approached stock by stock rather than as a broad bet on index direction.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tuesday&#8217;s session was a reminder of how quickly sentiment can turn: the Sensex and Nifty opened firmly higher before selling off through the day to close sharply in the red.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the setup shaping intraday stocks for today, the sectors that held up better, and what else is on the radar this session.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

comfortably higher, as early buying favoured technology stocks and HDFC Bank. That optimism unwound through the afternoon, with the Sensex closing at 74,003.82, down 777.94 points or 1.04 percent, and the Nifty settling at 23,118.60, down 279.50 points or 1.19 percent. It was a swing of well over a percent from the day&#8217;s high to its close, and that kind of reversal tends to leave the next session&#8217;s intraday stocks for today more sensitive than usual to early direction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_Reversal_Happened\"><\/span><strong>Why the Reversal Happened<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rising crude oil prices and a US 10-year Treasury yield above 5 percent overwhelmed the early optimism. Brent crude has been climbing toward 110 dollars a barrel, and the uncertainty isn&#8217;t limited to oil: the Fed&#8217;s rate decision from its September 15-16 meeting is still awaited, and markets don&#8217;t like sitting through that kind of binary event with large open positions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_the_Damage_Was_Worse\"><\/span><strong>Where the Damage Was Worse<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nifty Midcap:<\/strong> fell 2.12 percent, nearly double the Nifty&#8217;s own decline<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nifty Smallcap:<\/strong> fell 2.43 percent, the hardest hit segment of the market<\/li>\n<li><strong>India VIX:<\/strong> jumped over 10 percent to 13.57, signalling traders are pricing in more near-term swings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top individual losers:<\/strong> Bharat Electronics, Shriram Finance and Adani Enterprises led the Nifty 50 lower<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/intraday-stocks-for-today\"><strong>Explore More Intraday Stock Ideas on Univest<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Held_Up_Better\"><\/span><strong>What Held Up Better<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IT majors including HCLTech, Infosys and TCS provided a cushion even as the broader market fell, a detail anyone building a watchlist of intraday stocks for today should note.
