The market rallied for two consecutive days, but in early trading today, the Nifty declined by 51.55 points, while the Sensex dropped by 165.3 points. Experts attribute this pause to US-China tensions, and yesterday’s negative close in the US markets supports their analysis. Amid uncertainty about today’s market direction, here are the five stocks worth monitoring during the session.
