Stocks to Watch Today: Will Tariff Tensions Spoil the Mood?
Indian markets are expected to open on a muted note this Tuesday, August 5, 2025, as investor sentiment turns cautious. Why? Former U.S. President Donald Trump shook things up on Monday by announcing plans to significantly hike tariffs on Indian goods—retaliation, he claims, for India’s ongoing imports of Russian oil. Will this trigger fresh trade tensions?
Meanwhile, all eyes are on the Reserve Bank of India’s upcoming MPC decision—will it surprise or stick to script?
At 7:15 AM, GIFT Nifty Futures traded at 24,757, up 26 points or 0.1%. Not a huge move—but a calm before the storm?
Asian markets opened higher, taking cues from Wall Street’s strong rebound. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.42%, South Korea’s KOSPI surged 1.4%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was up 0.5%.
Will domestic cues derail this global optimism? Or will the RBI and geopolitical clarity steady the ship? Traders, it’s going to be a watchful day.
