After opening in the red briefly, the Indian market shifted marginally towards the green, with the Sensex gaining 100 points and the Nifty over 53 points. However, despite positive signs from the global market due to favourable US trade negotiations, escalating tensions and the looming war situation have created uncertainty in the domestic market. In early trading sessions, companies like HDFC Bank (HDFCBANK), Sun Pharma (SUNPHARMA), and Tech Mahindra (TECHM) were gainers, while Tata Motors (TATAMOTORS) and IndusInd Bank (INDUSINDBK) declined. Amid all these, two stocks that are worth tracking throughout the trading sessions are UCO Bank and LTIMindtree.
