Stocks to Watch Today, Thursday, March 05, 2026: Indian equity markets are expected to open on a positive note, tracking a rebound in Asian peers amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the US-Israel conflict with Iran in West Asia.
 
The early indicator of Nifty50 performance -- GIFT NIFTY -- was up 114 points at 24,699 as of 7:45 AM. 
 
The positive indication for the domestic stocks comes as Asian stock markets staged a comeback rally led by South Korea’s Kospi. The index jumped 11 per cent, bouncing back from the gauge's worst crash ever in the prior session. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 4 per cent after declining 3 per cent in the previous session, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 traded 0.38 per cent higher.
 
 
US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in the US military campaign against Iran even as the timeline for operations remained unclear, and a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in international waters, Bloomberg reported.
 
Overnight, Wall Street ended higher as data showed that the US service economy expanded at the fastest pace since mid-2022, which outweighed any geopolitical concerns. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended 0.78 per cent and 1.29 per cent higher, respectively. Meanwhile, Gold and silver continued to rise, while Brent crude ended flat on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, below are some stocks to watch during today's session:
