Stocks to Watch Today: Cautious Start Expected
The stocks that will be watched on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, indicate a careful start for Indian shares. The market-wide indices are expected to dip lower due to concerns that the US might impose tariffs on countries doing business with Iran, thus keeping traders watchful. The retail inflation in India also contributed to the situation as it went up to 1.33% in December 2025 from 0.71% in November, which can be interpreted as a little pressure on the consumption side.
GIFT Nifty Futures were showing a price of 25,759.5, an increase of 18 points or 0.07%, at an early hour of 07:00 AM, a sign of slight optimism. However, by 08:45 AM, Nifty futures had flattened and were priced at 25,751.50, with a downward movement of 6 points or 0.02%, indicating that buyers and sellers had not yet determined their positions.
The majority of the Asian markets were up, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 gaining 1.37% and South Korea’s KOSPI increasing by 0.38%, the latter being partly due to rumors of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi potentially calling a snap election as soon as February. So, stay alert, traders, and make sure your stops are tight, range-bound movement is anticipated.
US Markets Slip
On Tuesday, US stocks closed at a loss, with the main reason being the sale of JPMorgan shares by investors, even though the bank’s results were better than expected, proving that not all victories are celebrated. Volatility continued to be a factor as traders had to cope with a number of President Trump’s recent proposals affecting the market’s mood.
By the end of the day, the Dow Jones was down 0.8%, the S&P 500 was down 0.19%, and the Nasdaq was down 0.1%. So, traders, be careful with market fluctuations, sometimes winning doesn’t mean getting the loudest applause.
