Giving his idea on the current market scenario Deepak Jasani, Head Retail Research, HDFC Securities said, "In India, markets could behave flat to mildly lower today in the morning session.  It could later attempt to cross 11,600 and gain some more. Last week the Nifty closed at 10,811. China trade data and India IIP and CPI numbers are due today. Technically,   the Nifty could now face resistance at 11,627-11,648 band, while 11,536 could provide support. Auto, Metals and Healthcare indices could do well.  Among stock under coverage, Majesco, SBI, Dr. Reddys, Birla Corp, Bharat Forge, IndusInd Bank, DCB Bank could do well."
