Stocks to Watch Today, August 6, 2025: Markets Eye RBI Policy Amid Global Tensions
Good morning, traders! Are you ready for a potentially volatile session? Indian equity markets are likely to open on a cautious note today as geopolitical tensions rise. U.S. President Donald Trump has issued fresh tariff threats against India over its continued imports of Russian oil—a move that could rattle investor sentiment.
Meanwhile, all eyes will be on the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy decision, expected later today. Most analysts anticipate the repo rate will remain unchanged at 5.5%, but will the RBI surprise?
As of 7:40 AM, GIFT Nifty Futures were trading at 24,693, down 47 points or 0.19%, signaling a soft start.
Across Asia, markets were mixed. KOSPI was down 0.28%, Hang Seng dipped 0.15%, while Nikkei 225 and CSI 300 hovered flat with a slight positive bias.
In the U.S., the S&P 500 slipped 0.49%, and the Dow Jones closed 0.14% lower.
How are you positioning your trades today?
