Trade Setup for Tuesday: Top 15 things to know before Opening Bell

The Indian market managed to end in the green on August 10, despite profit-taking at higher levels, due to support coming in from select pockets.

Earnings of select pharma companies drove gains in the sector while government actions to boost domestic defence productions helped boost defence stocks.

The Sensex closed 142 points, or 0.37 percent, higher at 38,182.08 and the Nifty ended at 11,270.15, with a gain of 56 points, or 0.50 percent.

"Markets would react to the Supreme Court hearing on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues and stocks especially from telecom and banking pack will remain in the limelight. Since we are closely following global markets, US-China trade tensions, currency and crude oil movements would also be actively tracked," said Ajit Mishra, VP -Research, Religare Broking.

"We maintain our positive yet cautious stance and suggest traders prefer hedged bets as volatility is here to stay. A decisive breakout above 11,350 in Nifty would again turn the bias in favour of the bulls."
