Stocks to Watch Today – Tuesday, August 26, 2025
Good morning, traders! Indian markets may open lower today, following weak global cues. GIFT Nifty futures were down 67 points at 24,922 as of in early trading session, hinting at a soft and muted start for Sensex and Nifty50.
What’s driving the mood?
A draft notice from the US Department of Homeland Security says President Donald Trump plans to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods starting August 27. That’s made investor sentiment cautious on Dalal Street.
Across Asia, markets are also down. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.78%, Japan’s Nikkei lost 1.01%, and China’s CSI 300 was down 0.68%. Trump also warned of even higher tariffs on China over rare-earth exports.
Overnight, Wall Street ended in the red. The S&P 500 dropped 0.43%, Nasdaq slipped 0.22%, and the Dow lost 0.77% ahead of Nvidia’s earnings.
