Stocks to Watch today, Tuesday, August 26, 2025: Here is the complete list of stocks to watch during today's trading session

Stocks to Watch Today, Tuesday, August 26, 2025: Benchmark Indian equity indices, the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50, are likely to start Tuesday's session on a lower note, mirroring global peers. Investor sentiment on D-Street remains cautious amid a draft notice from the US Department of Homeland Security detailing plans by President Donald Trump to impose a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods, effective August 27.

 

Amidst this, GIFT Nifty futures were trading at 24,922, down by 67 points as of 7:58 AM on Tuesday, indicating a weak start for domestic benchmarks.

 

Markets in the Asia-Pacific region mostly declined on Tuesday, as investors reacted to heightened trade tensions following remarks from US President Trump. He reportedly threatened to impose '200 per cent tariffs or something' on China if it fails to export rare-earth magnets to the US. 

 

 

South Korea’s Kospi slipped 0.78 per cent, Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 1.01 per cent, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.41 per cent, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged down 0.44 per cent. Meanwhile, China’s CSI 300 declined 0.68 per cent; if losses hold, the index will snap a four-day winning streak.

 

Overnight in the US, Wall Street's major indices closed lower as investors evaluated the interest rate outlook and awaited earnings from AI chipmaker Nvidia. This followed Friday’s rally that pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record high close. The broader S&P 500 declined 0.43 per cent, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.22 per cent, and the Dow shed 0.77 per cent.
