Stocks to watch: HCL Tech, DMart, HDFC Bank among shares in focus today; check list here

Stock market today: The Indian stock market closed sharply higher, driven by broad-based buying across sectors, on Friday, 10 July.

The BSE Sensex surged 827.57 points, or 1.08%, to end at 77,569.39, while the NSE Nifty 50 climbed 244.10 points, or 1.02%, to settle at 24,206.90.

However, the market is likely to open lower as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a negative start on Monday, 13 July. Gift Nifty was trading near the 24,056 mark, down over 168 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.

“Indian equity markets are expected to open on a cautious note as renewed geopolitical tensions following a fresh round of military strikes between the United States and Iran have reignited concerns over global energy supplies and heightened risk aversion across financial markets. The escalation has triggered a sharp rebound in crude oil prices, weighing on overall investor sentiment. Gift Nifty is currently trading around the 24,100 mark, below Friday's Nifty close of 24,206.90, indicating a gap-down start for domestic equities,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

As the market is pointing towards a negative start, some stocks are likely to remain in focus on Monday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
