Stocks to Watch Today – Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Good morning, investors! Indian markets are expected to open flat today, with mixed global cues keeping traders on edge. At 7:30 AM, GIFT Nifty Futures were trading slightly higher at 24,594.5 — up 19.5 points or 0.08%.
Asian markets are showing mixed trends. Japan’s Nikkei 225 is on fire, jumping 2.36% to a record high. South Korea’s KOSPI is also up 0.8%. But Hong Kong’s Hang Seng is lagging, down 0.15%.
Why the mixed signals? Investors are reacting to the extended US-China trade truce. The 90-day pause on higher US tariffs gives both countries more time to negotiate — a move welcomed by some, questioned by others.
Meanwhile, Wall Street ended slightly lower on Monday. The S&P 500 slipped 0.25%, and the Dow fell 0.45%, as attention now turns to key US inflation data expected later this week.
What’s your take — bullish or cautious today?
