Stocks to Watch Today: A Lukewarm Start with Mixed Global Cues

Market Outlook

Indian equities are gearing up for a rather lukewarm start, with mixed global cues keeping enthusiasm in check. The GIFT Nifty seems to be tiptoeing into Tuesday, up by 6 points at 26,340 as of 06:54 AM. However, sentiment cooled further by 8:09 AM, with the index slipping to 26,320, down 25 points.

Global Market Mood

The Asia-Pacific largely marched ahead, with South Korean automakers stealing the spotlight after the US rolled out retroactive tariff cuts. Meanwhile, Wall Street stumbled overnight as rising Treasury yields and stubborn manufacturing pressures weighed on investors.
