HCL Tech Emerges as Top Gainer
The IT sector became the market's highlight today. HCL Technologies shares opened with a b gain of 2.33 percent, emerging as the top gainer in early trade. Investors showed confidence in the company due to good quarterly results and expectations of improved IT service demand.

Analysts believe that profit-booking is now occurring in these sectors after a continuous rally in recent days. Investors are currently showing more confidence in the IT and Metal sectors.
Investors Eye Global Cues
According to analysts, the market's direction at this time is entirely dependent on global trends. Factors such as the next meeting of the US Federal Reserve, fluctuations in crude oil prices, and the strength of the dollar will determine the market's trajectory in the coming days.
Meanwhile, on the domestic front, the impact of corporate results and festive season demand may also be observed. Although a slight uptrend was visible in Tuesday's morning trade, investor caution persists.
