Stocks To Watch: Adani Enterprises, Adani Power, Union Bank Of India, Aeroflex Industries, Sanghi Industries

Asian equities are set to rise on Tuesday following a rally in big tech that spurred a rebound on Wall Street. Rising Treasury yields and likely upward pressure on rates in Asia may temper sentiment for risk taking as investors await a key speech later in the week by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Futures for Japanese shares advanced 1% while contracts for benchmarks in Australia and Hong Kong showed smaller gains. An index of U.S.-listed Chinese stocks also rose.

On Monday, the S&P 500 halted a four-day drop while the Nasdaq 100 rose about 1.5%, with Tesla Inc. up the most since March. Nvidia Corp., which helped ignite the artificial-intelligence frenzy that has driven this year’s equity surge, jumped over 8%.

Meanwhile, Brent crude was trading below $85 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was below $81-mark. The yield on the 10-year U.S. bond was trading at 4.34% and Bitcoin was below 27,000-level.

At 5:16 a.m., the GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India was down 19 points or 0.10% at 19,380.

India's benchmark stock indices advanced through Monday as metals and I.T. sectors led the advance whereas the shares of Reliance Industries Ltd. were the top drag on both indices after the listing of Jio Financial Services Ltd. RIL's listed companies erased as much as Rs 36,480.61 crore in market capitalisation. The shares of RIL's fintech arm plunged to a 5% lower circuit after listing on the bourses.

The headline indices snapped two days of losses to end higher on Monday. Nifty reclaimed the 19,400 mark and Sensex traded above the 65,200 level.

Overseas investors remained net sellers of Indian equities on Monday for the third session in a row. Foreign portfolio investors offloaded stocks worth Rs 1,901.1 crore, while domestic institutional investors remained net buyers and mopped up equities worth Rs 626.25 crore.
