Infosys, ICICI Bank among ten stocks that will hog limelight in trade today

The Sensex and Nifty are expected to open flat on Tuesday tracking muted trend in Asian markets as a highly anticipated US-Korea summit got underway in Singapore, potentially paving the way to ending a nuclear stand-off on the Korean peninsula. Investors may remain on sideways ahead of US Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting that kicks off later today.

Trading was volatile as MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan seesawed between positive and negative territory. It was last up 0.1 percent, while Japan's Nikkei .N225 pared early gains to be up 0.6 percent.

South Korean shares rose 0.2 percent while Chinese shares .SSEC pushed up slightly. Australian shares were a tad firmer.

The lead from Wall Street was mixed too, with the Dow .DJI barely changed, the S&P 500 up 0.1 percent and the Nasdaq adding 0.2 percent.
