Stocks to Watch Today, Friday, January 16, 2026
Dalal Street has resumed operations after a one-day break due to Maharashtra’s municipal elections, and investors are eager to find out whether it will be a gradual day or a cautious move. Early signs suggest it may be a bit of both.
At 07:15 AM, Gift Nifty Futures were at 25,781, down 4 points, testing traders’ patience. By 8:51 AM, it had climbed to 25,796, up 11 points, indicating the market is slowly waking up. Are bargain hunters ready to pounce?
On the international front, Asian stocks showed mixed performance: Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.52%, South Korea’s KOSPI rose 0.87%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.90%. Meanwhile, Wall Street recovered from two days of losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.26%, Nasdaq 0.25%, and Dow 0.60%.
The key question remains: will Dalal Street follow Wall Street or carve its own path today? All eyes are on the opening bell.
