Stocks to watch today: Stock markets are expected to open in the red on December 30, as Gift Nifty opened lower than the previous close.
Indian equity markets closed lower on Monday as profit-taking dominated amid thin year-end liquidity. However, experts feel that the broader structure continues to reflect a consolidation-driven phase. Meanwhile, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on December 29 and offloaded equities worth Rs 2759.89 crore, while DIIs extended their buying streak with net purchases of Rs 2643.85 crore. Stock markets are expected to open in the red on December 30 as Gift Nifty futures opened lower than the previous close. Gift Nifty opened at 25,935 against the previous close of 25,966, trading with a fall of 31. In this backdrop, there are some stocks that are likely to be in focus today. Let’s have a look at them.
