Stocks to watch: The Indian stock market witnessed a decline in the first trading week of 2026. Now, investors are looking ahead to the second week, which begins on January 12th. Due to rising global geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic pressures, both indices fell by more than 2 percent last week.

Global uncertainties at their peak

On one hand, the US is threatening to impose a 500 percent tariff on oil purchases from Russia, while on the other hand, there are fears of rising oil prices and inflation. In addition, several other factors, such as selling by foreign investors and the weakening of the rupee against the dollar, are also contributing to the pressure on the stock market.

This decline last week is considered to be the biggest single-week drop since September 2025. Today, we are going to tell you about some selected stocks whose shares may see significant movement next week.
