Stocks to watch: HDFC Bank, Vedanta, NBCC India among shares in focus today; check list here

Stock market today: Indian benchmark indices ended Friday's session in positive territory, with the Nifty 50 reclaiming and closing above the 24,200 mark.

The Sensex gained 261.79 points, or 0.34%, to finish at 77,763.91, while the Nifty 50 advanced 95.15 points, or 0.39%, to settle at 24,270.85.

However, the market is likely to open in red as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a muted start on Monday, 6 July. Gift Nifty was trading near the 24,340 mark, down over 13 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.

"Indian equities are expected to open on a steady note, supported by positive global cues, subdued crude oil prices and improving risk sentiment. Geopolitical concerns have continued to recede as the U.S.–Iran situation remains stable, with diplomatic engagement progressing and no major disruptions reported. The easing of tensions has reduced concerns over energy supply risks in the Middle East, underpinning investor confidence across global markets," 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 Thursday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
