Stocks to Watch Today, Thursday, November 13, 2025: Indian equity markets are set for a muted start on Thursday, a day after posting the biggest gains in nearly a month, as investors track mixed global cues.

 

The early indicator of Nifty50 performance -- GIFT NIFTY -- was down 36 points at 25,949 as of 7:45 AM.

 

Stock markets in Asia traded mixed, taking overnight cues from Wall Street, amid the absence of unemployment and inflation data due to the US Government shutdown. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was down nearly 1 per cent, while Nikkei and Kospi gained. 

 

In the US, the record shutdown came to an end, on Thursday, as the House passed the spending bill, resolving uncertainties ranging from food aid to the release of key economic data points. The S&P 500 index closed 0.06 per cent up, while the Nasdaq was down 0.26 per cent. 

 

 

Back home, on Wednesday, the BSE Sensex settled 595.19 points or 0.71 per cent higher at 84,466.51, while the Nifty50 rose 180.85 points or 0.70 per cent to end at 25,875.80.
