Stocks to Watch Today — Will the Bulls Wake Up This Wednesday?
Good morning, market watchers. It’s Wednesday, October 15, and Indian equities are poised for a mildly positive start. At 7:02 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were up 77 points at 25,283, indicating early optimism.
This follows a weak Tuesday session where the Sensex fell 297 points and the Nifty dropped 82, with all sectoral indices ending in the red.
Globally, Asian markets are rebounding,
- Nikkei is up 1%,
- Kospi 1%, and
- ASX 200 by 0.9%,
buoyed by hopes of a Fed rate cut despite renewed US-China trade tensions.
In the U.S., the S&P 500 slipped 0.2%, Nasdaq dropped 0.8%, while the Dow managed a 0.4% gain. Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at ending balance sheet tightening and suggested rate cuts may be near.
Meanwhile, gold hit a record high above $4,200, oil slipped over 1%, and the dollar index fell below 99, pressured by dovish Fed signals and eurozone gains.
