Stocks to Watch Today, Thursday, March 27, 2025: Indian benchmark indices are set for a cautious start on Thursday, as negative global cues play spoilsport despite a recovery in foreign inflows. However, GIFT Nifty indicated a slightly higher start for domestic stocks.  

 

The GIFT Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, was up 17 points or 0.07 per cent at 23,510.5 as of 07:50 AM.

 

Stocks in the Asia-Pacific region tumbled, taking cues from Wall Street, after US President Donald Trump placed a 25 per cent levy on auto imports. Japan's Nikkei was down 1.16 per cent while South Korea's Kospi was lower by 0.73 per cent. 

 

US stocks snapped their three-day gains as risk-on sentiments faced pressure with concerns escalating about the economic impact of a trade war. The S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 plunged by 1.12 per cent and 2.04 per cent, respectively, as of Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.31 per cent.

 

Meanwhile, the benchmark gauges broke their seven-straight day of gains on Wednesday. The Nifty 50 fell by 0.77 per cent or 181.8 points to 23,486.8 while the 30-stock Sensex slipped 0.93 per cent or 728.6 points to the 77,288.5 level.
