Stocks to Watch Today, 15th May 2025: Eicher Motors, HUL, Tata Power and More

Opening Bell: Nifty, Sensex Likely to See Flat Start Amid Cautious Global Sentiment

Indian equity benchmarks are expected to open on a muted note Thursday, May 15, amid a lack of clear global cues. Overnight, Wall Street ended mixed, while key Asian markets slipped into negative territory in early trade, adding to investor caution.

On Wednesday, domestic markets showed resilience after Tuesday’s decline, trading within a narrow band before ending modestly higher. Early gains were supported by cooling retail inflation and broadly steady global indicators. However, momentum faded as the session progressed, weighed down by lacklustre participation and divergent trends among index heavyweights.

The Nifty 50 closed at 24,666.90, up 0.36%, as investors awaited fresh triggers to drive direction.
