Stocks to watch: Infosys, Tata Elxsi, NLC India among 10 shares in focus today; full list inside

Stock market today: Indian indices - the Sensex and Nifty 50 - are likely to open on a weaker note on Wednesday, tracking weak cues from global markets.

Asian markets traded mixed on Wednesday, while US stocks closed lower overnight as selling pressure in financial shares weighed on sentiment.

" Indian equity markets are likely to trade steady to mildly cautious today, following a mixed close in the previous session. Sentiment remains guarded amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, tariff-related uncertainties, persistent FII selling, and firmer crude prices. While select Asian markets are showing pockets of strength, global cues are mixed, with U.S. indices ending overnight in the red," said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

On Tuesday, domestic markets ended in the red amid profit booking, driven by ongoing concerns over US tariffs, continued foreign fund outflows, and mixed global signals.

The Sensex declined 250.48 points, or 0.30%, to finish at 83,627.69, while the Nifty 50 slipped 57.95 points, or 0.22%, to close at 25,732.30.

“Domestic equities experienced a downturn due to renewed concerns about potential U.S. tariffs on countries trading with Iran, overshadowing the initial optimism from the newly appointed U.S. ambassador's positive statements on the trade deal. Investor sentiment remained cautious amidst the rupee's weakness, rising crude prices, higher U.S. bond yields, and persistent FII outflows,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited.
