Stocks to Watch Today: Get ready for a slightly sleepy start to the markets today! Indian benchmark indices are expected to drift into the penultimate trading session of the week on a dull note, thanks to mixed cues buzzing across global markets. And yes, the GIFT Nifty is already hinting that the day may begin with more of a yawn than a roar.
At 06:46 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were down 49 points at 26,087.
By 07:49 AM, they had slipped a little further, trading at 26,069.50, down 22 points. Not dramatic, but definitely not party mode.
Over in Asia, markets are serving up a mixed platter. Japan’s Nikkei 225 is up 0.3%, South Korea’s Kospi is taking a 0.45% dip, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 is, well, barely moving. The region is echoing Wall Street’s overnight mood after fresh US job data revived hopes that the US Fed might finally pull the trigger on a rate cut next week.
Speaking of Wall Street, things looked upbeat on Wednesday. The Dow jumped 0.86%, the S&P 500 added 0.30%, and the Nasdaq nudged up 0.17%, although Microsoft’s little stumble kept the celebrations modest.
But the real spotlight today?
The high-stakes meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This isn’t just a diplomatic formality, it’s a big moment for both nations. The outcome could shape how India and Russia trade, collaborate, and set up future economic partnerships. Markets will be watching this one closely, and so should you.
