Stocks to watch: TCS, Bosch, NTPC, NHPC among 10 shares in focus today

Stock market today: The Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open on a weaker note on Thursday, mirroring mixed global market signals as optimism surrounding the US-Iran ceasefire waned and investors grew wary of potential escalation in the conflict.

Gift Nifty trends also point to a subdued start for domestic equities, with the index hovering around the 23,973 mark—nearly 84 points below the previous close of Nifty futures.

“Indian markets are likely to open on a flat to mildly negative note, as strong global cues are being tempered by fresh uncertainty around the durability of the recent geopolitical de-escalation. While US markets rallied sharply, with the Dow surging over 1,300 points on easing oil prices and ceasefire optimism, Asian markets are showing mixed trends, reflecting a more cautious undertone,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI-registered Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth.

On Wednesday, however, the Indian stock market witnessed a strong rally following the announcement of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, with the Nifty 50 ending close to the 24,000 level. The Sensex surged 2,946.32 points, or 3.95%, to settle at 77,562.90, while the Nifty 50 advanced 873.70 points, or 3.78%, to close at 23,997.35.
