The Indian stock market witnessed a mild downturn on Tuesday, reflecting cautious investor sentiment both domestically and globally. As the market gears up for the next trading session, several stocks are expected to be on the radar of investors and analysts on Dalal Street.

Market Recap

The Sensex declined by 212.9 points, closing at 81,583.3, while the Nifty50 fell by 93.1 points to settle at 24,853.4. The broader market trend was negative, with the Nifty Bank index also losing steam shedding 230.8 points to close at 55,714.2.

Investors bore the brunt of this sell-off, with a staggering Rs 2.79 lakh crore in market wealth wiped out in a single session. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms dropped from Rs 450.52 lakh crore to Rs 447.74 lakh crore, according to provisional exchange data.

Global Influences

Market sentiment globally was restrained due to intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, prompting traders to adopt a risk-off approach. Adding to the uncertainty, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began its much-anticipated two-day policy review, keeping investors on edge over possible changes in U.S. interest rate outlook.

Stocks to Watch on Dalal Street

As attention turns to the upcoming trading session, here are a few stocks likely to be actively tracked:

• Vedanta Ltd – With commodity prices seeing fluctuations and regulatory updates influencing the sector, Vedanta remains a critical stock for commodity-driven portfolios.
  
  

• GMR Airports – Aviation and infrastructure stocks like GMR Airports could attract attention amid expectations of policy changes and investment inflows in the sector.
  
  

• Bajaj Finance – Given its market influence and upcoming quarterly updates, Bajaj Finance continues to be a key financial stock for investor watchlists.
  
  

• RailTel Corporation – Infrastructure and rail sector plays such as RailTel could witness movements with continued focus on government-led capex and digital rail initiatives.
  
  

• BSE Ltd – The Bombay Stock Exchange itself may see volatility, especially in light of the market capitalisation shift and heightened investor awareness around exchange-led growth.
  
  

What to Expect Next

Market participants are likely to monitor global cues, particularly from the FOMC meeting, while domestic earnings season and policy developments will shape near-term trends. With sentiment currently fragile, traders and investors should brace for continued volatility in the coming sessions.
