STOCKS IN NEWS: KEY STOCKS TO WATCH TODAY

Markets are expected to stay focused on earnings, corporate updates, and global cues. L&T could stay in the spotlight after strong profit growth, while Maruti Suzuki might see mixed reaction, because revenue improved but profitability dipped. Bajaj Auto is also in play after reporting a solid jump in profit. The headline event is the listing of Jio Platforms, which investors will watch closely because it can influence market sentiment and Reliance. Beyond company news, crude oil prices, US market movements, and the US Fed's policy decision could affect confidence. FII flows, index volatility, and earnings-season headlines could keep trading choppy. So, short-term traders, focus on stock-specific setups, keep risk tight, and avoid chasing sharp moves. With global cues uncertain, discipline and patience matter today.
