Stocks to Watch Today: So before we dive into the ups and downs of stock market, we shll know which stock is going to make our portfolio green!

As traders weigh positive signals from global markets against persistent geopolitical and trade issues, Dalal Street is very likely to open cautiously or flat on Monday. Early cues were muted, with GIFT Nifty at 25,798, down 18 points at 7:15 AM. Half an hour later, sentiment turned more negative, with GIFT Nifty slipping to 25,790.50, a drop of 66 points, or 0.26 percent, signalling a cautious opening.

In contrast, Asian equity markets were in a better mood, tracking Friday’s Wall Street gains after the US employment report showed the unemployment rate falling, widely seen as a sign of labour market strength. Japan’s Nikkei gained 1.61 percent, South Korea’s KOSPI rose 1.24 percent, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbed 0.55 percent. However, oil prices remain in focus as traders closely monitor protests in Iran entering their third week.

Wall Street also had a positive session overnight, with the S&P 500 closing up 0.65 percent, the Nasdaq gaining 0.81 percent, and the Dow rising 0.48 percent. For Indian markets, it is a day for vigilance, expect stock-specific moves rather than bold directional bets.
