Kesoram Industries, Tata Motors and Lupin among top stocks to track

Rout in US stocks in the overnight trade, followed by a slide in Asian market peers indicate a negative start for the domestic stocks on Wednesday. That apart, investors are likely to take a cautious stance ahead of RBI's monetary policy outcome, due later in the day. At 08:35 am, the Nifty futures on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) were trading 52 points or 0.48 per cent lower at 10,860.50.  

Here's a look at the top stocks that may remain in focus today - 

Kesoram Industries: BK Birla group firm Kesoram Industries said Tuesday it will spin off its tyre business into a separate entity, which will then become a publicly traded company.

Rate-sensitive stocks: Financial, auto and realty stocks are likely to remain in focus today as RBI will announce its fifth bimonthly monetary policy decision of FY19, later in the day. 

Tata Motors: S&P Global Ratings on Tuesday lowered the credit rating of Tata Motors and its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc (JLR), citing weaker-than-expected profitability at JLR. S&P cut its rating on Tata Motors’ issuer credit and senior unsecured notes to ‘BB-’ from ‘BB’. The ratings remain on negative watch, reflecting the uncertainties for JLR from a fast-approaching Brexit deadline, Reuters reported quoting S&P as saying.
