Stocks to Watch Today, July 21: Ready for a snooze or a surprise?
India’s stock market is gearing up for a flat start, stuck in its familiar range-bound groove as the August 1 tariff deadline creeps closer. At 7:26 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were down 9 points at 25,018—pretty much hitting the snooze button. Q1FY26 earnings so far? Let’s just say India Inc. hasn’t been dishing out any fireworks, keeping D-street’s mood a bit meh.
Across Asia, it’s a mixed bag. Japan’s Nikkei dipped slightly, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and South Korea’s Kospi are showing some pep with small gains. Meanwhile, US markets barely moved, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hanging tight, waiting for Powell’s next move.
So, what should you watch? Trade tariffs and Powell’s speech. Will earnings rescue the day? Stay tuned—because on D-street, patience might just be the best strategy right now!
