Stocks to watch: Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, HDFC Bank, more

NSE Nifty futures traded on the Singapore Exchange are down 0.1 per cent, while the MSCI-Asia Pacific excluding Japan index falls 0.27 per cent.

Asian share markets crept cautiously higher on Tuesday after Wall Street notched up a late rally, but conviction was sorely lacking with Tokyo shut for a holiday and plenty of major events looming later in the week.

The S&P 500 ended higher on Monday after a volatile session, as gains in Apple and Pfizer helped offset another round of selling in some high-growth tech shares.
