Stocks to watch today, January 21, 2026: Q3FY26 results, persistent FII selling, along with weak global cues are likely to drive the mood of benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, today.
At 7:07 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 25.3 points higher at 25,284.5, signaling a flat to higher start for the bourses.
Asia-Pacific markets declined on Wednesday, tracking sharp overnight losses on Wall Street after US President Donald Trump stepped up rhetoric over Greenland, raising the prospect of fresh tariffs on countries opposing the transfer of Danish territory to the US.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.28 per cent, while the Topix slipped 1.09 per cent. South Korea’s Kospi declined 1.09 per cent, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 opened 0.32 per cent lower.
On Saturday, Trump said exports from
eight European countries would be subject to 10 per cent tariffs from Feb. 1, rising to 25 per cent by June 1 if negotiations fail to secure US control of mineral-rich Greenland. He also threatened to impose 200 per cent tariffs on French wine and champagne, after reports that French President Emmanuel Macron was unwilling to join his proposed “Board of Peace.”
Trump further criticised the UK, calling its plan to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands, home to a joint UK-US military base, to Mauritius an “act of great stupidity,” citing the move as additional justification for acquiring Greenland on national security grounds.
European leaders have termed Trump’s latest tariff threats “unacceptable” and are reportedly considering retaliatory steps. France is said to be pushing the European Union to deploy its strongest economic response mechanism, known as the Anti-Coercion Instrument.
US stock futures edged slightly higher in early Asian trading after Wall Street logged its worst session in three months. Overnight, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.76 per cent, S&P 500 dropped 2.06 per cent and the Nasdaq slid 2.39 per cent, marking the weakest session since October for all three major indices.
