Stocks To Watch Today: Indian Markets Poised For A Tepid Start
Get ready for a cautious morning on Dalal Street! Indian equity markets are likely to open on a weak note, mirroring the global jitters. GIFT Nifty futures hint at a rocky start, and as of 6:55 AM, they were trading 54 points lower at 26,006, signaling a slightly wobbly mood for the benchmarks.
By 8:22 AM, the gloom lingered: GIFT Nifty had slipped further to 25,993, down 23 points, suggesting investors might want their coffee strong today.
Across the globe, markets in the Asia-Pacific region weren’t exactly sending good vibes either. Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.92%, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dipped, and South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.64%, all riding the wake of a tech-driven selloff on Wall Street.
Speaking of the US, Wall Street’s major indices had a rough night on Monday. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq tumbled below a key technical level for the first time since late April, with investors keeping a wary eye on upcoming quarterly earnings from major retailers and chipmaker Nvidia, plus a long-delayed US jobs report expected later this week. The broader S&P 500 dropped 0.90%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq slid 0.80%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1.2%.
So, if you were planning a bullish morning, you might want to take a deep breath, watch the numbers, and maybe keep that extra cup of coffee handy, Dalal Street seems to be waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
