Stocks to Watch Today: Let’s look at the stocks that are going to change your portfolio
The Indian stock markets will begin their trading day with a cautious approach as global market concerns affect investor sentiment. GIFT NIFTY showed a decline of 61 points, bringing its value to 25,362 at 7:45 am this morning. This decline indicates that the Nifty 50 will open on a weak note.
Asian markets experienced declines after news reports indicated that the United States might take military action against Iran following failed nuclear negotiations. South Korea’s Kospi index fell by 0.5%, while Japan’s Nikkei index lost 0.3%, indicating reduced risk appetite among investors.
The S&P 500 index in the US touched a peak of 7,002 before giving up gains as major technology companies reported mixed earnings. The US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged, which added to investor caution. Back home, the Indian stock market set a positive tone on Wednesday, with the Sensex rising 487 points and the Nifty 50 closing above 25,300.
The current global situation will determine whether it creates a negative atmosphere or if domestic strength continues to hold firm. Today’s trading session should provide the answer.
