Stocks To Watch Today: Sensex and Nifty Poised for Recovery After Friday’s Sharp Sell-Off
Indian markets are starting to recover from Friday’s slump as they return to trading following the Republic Day holiday weekend. The GIFT Nifty rose 96 points, bringing it to 25,160 at 7:40 AM, signaling a positive start to the week. The Kospi Index managed to recover its losses after Asian markets mostly moved higher, despite US President Donald Trump announcing another tariff threat against South Korea. Wall Street saw an overnight rally, providing a boost to investors, with the S&P 500 up 0.5% and the Nasdaq gaining 0.43%, as traders awaited the Federal Reserve policy decision on Wednesday.
Friday’s sharp declines, with the Sensex falling 769.67 points and the Nifty50 dropping 241.25 points, continue to influence current market sentiment. Traders are advised to keep a close eye on Q3 earnings, global market movements, and trade news, as these factors demand constant attention, and maybe a cup of coffee nearby.
