Stocks To Watch Today: Let’s Look At What Will Save You In The Rollercoster Today!
Indian equity markets are set for a muted opening on Wednesday, a day after bulls delivered the strongest rally in eight months, powered by the US–India trade deal. The Dalal Street market will pause its current trading activity as it evaluates its position after the fireworks display.
The initial signals showed a negative trend. GIFT NIFTY declined by 53 points, bringing its value down to 25,813 at 7:10 AM. The market showed stable trading conditions after 8:35 AM, when the value reached 25,774 and declined by only 10 points. The current situation shows that anxiety has eased, but caution remains.
Investors are awaiting the complete trade deal text to understand how different sectors will be affected by the agreement. The market is now focused on Q3 earnings reports from Bajaj Finserv, Trent, and Tata Power. The RBI will begin its MPC meeting today, with the policy decision expected on Friday.
Asian markets showed mixed results after Wall Street experienced a tech-driven sell-off, keeping traders on high alert. The main question for today comes down to two choices: pause or prepare for the next move.
