Reliance Industries, YES Bank among top five stocks in focus today

The Sensex and Nifty are expected to open flat tracking mixed trend seen in Asian markets, which were shaky as financial markets remained in a state of anxious uncertainty on the eve of a US deadline to slap tariffs on Chinese imports. At 7:50 am, SGX Nifty was trading at 10,775.50, up 2.50 points or 0.02 per cent.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.1 per cent, having moved in and out of the red in early trade. The index has lost 1.6 per cent this week, during which it plumbed a nine-month low.

Asia was bereft of the usual leads as the U.S. markets were closed on Wednesday for the Independence Day holiday.

US stock futures were marginally higher, pointing to a stronger open for Wall Street later in the day.
