Stocks to Watch Today: Adani, Sun Pharma, SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI, Vardhman, Hudco And Many Other In Focus Today

Stocks to Watch Today: Good Morning, traders!

Futures trades on GIFT Nifty are opening Wednesday like the alarm clock of a sleeping person, at 26,213, down 16 points at 06:50 AM. But hold on! The index had risen by 8:14 AM, just enough to be seen at 26,191, trading flat. Not very spectacular, but at least it was there, not like fireworks.

It’s a very data-heavy day globally. The USA is giving out Industrial Production, PMI readings, and ISM Services, and Europe is presenting PPI and services data. China is also providing its PMI numbers. If you are a fan of graphs, then today is your day.

In the meantime, the three-day MPC meeting of the RBI starts today, cue the suspense music. The HSBC PMI Services and Composite readings should be added to the mix, and there is no end to the talk on D-Street.

Asian markets are in the groove of the tech rebound on Wall Street and the wild race in crypto. Bitcoin even sprinted past $90,000, thus still being the drama queen among global assets.
