Stocks to Watch Today: Good Morning Readers, Let’s Dive Into The List
If the markets had a mood meter, today it would be flashing “cautiously optimistic”, with a side of caffeine. Early morning cues suggest a swingy start: around 6:49 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were buzzing 87 points higher at 25,951, hinting at a cheerful opening. But by 8:35 AM, sentiment slipped a bit, with GIFT Nifty dipping to 25,930, down 44 points, just to remind traders that nothing comes easy.
Global markets, however, are in a good mood. The US Federal Reserve delivered its third rate cut of 2025, trimming the federal funds rate to 3.5%–3.75% and hinting at a pause. Powell cracked open the window for “wait and watch,” while also blaming Trump’s tariffs for inflationary heat.
Asia joined the party, with Nikkei, Kospi, and ASX all in the green. Wall Street wrapped up Wednesday with a solid rally, all eyes now on how Sensex and Nifty dance today.
