Stocks to Watch Today, Monday, December 1, 2025: Indian equity markets are likely to kickstart December’s first trading session on a lower note, mirroring their Asian peers. The GIFT Nifty futures also indicated a subdued start for the benchmarks. Market sentiment on a weekly front is expected to be driven by macroeconomic data announcements, global trends, the RBI’s interest rate decision, and trading activity of foreign investors.

 

At 07:07 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were flat at 26,520, hinting at a muted start for domestic equities.

 

On the data front, Dalal Street investors await industrial production data for October 2025, GST Collection data, as well as November automobile sales data.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are pricing in an 87.4 per cent probability of a rate cut at the Fed’s December 10 meeting.

 

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 slipped 1.3 per cent, South Korea’s Kospi edged down 0.66 per cent, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 declined 0.23 per cent.
