Stocks to Watch today, January 8, 2026: From Tata Steel to Cipla, here is a list of stocks that will be on investors' radar

Stocks to Watch today, January 8, 2026: Domestic markets are likely to start Thursday's session on a weak note, influenced by cautious global sentiment. Early indicators from the GIFT Nifty suggest a lower opening, with futures trading down 56 points at 26,180.

 

This follows a mixed performance on Wall Street, where escalating geopolitical concerns and remarks from President Donald Trump weighed on investor confidence. Despite hitting new intraday peaks, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones ultimately retreated, closing lower by 0.34 per cent and 0.94 per cent, respectively. In contrast, the Nasdaq managed a slight gain of 0.16 per cent.

 

 

The cautious mood extended to Asian markets, which showed a fragmented trend in early trade. Indices in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Japan all saw declines ranging from 0.5 per cent to 0.9 per cent, while South Korea’s Kospi bucked the trend with a notable 1.48 per cent rise.  FOLLOW STOCK MARKET UPDATES TODAY LIVE
