Indian stock-market indices are likely to start lower on Wednesday, led by mixed cues from the global markets.

At 7:45 am, the SGX Nifty was down 0.13%, indicating a tepid start for Nifty50. However, the US stocks ended higher on Tuesday, as investors took advantage of the previous session's slump to buy back, ahead of the outcome of the Senate elections in the state of Georgia. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 167 points higher, and the S&P 500 was up 0.71%.

These are the stocks to watch out for during the trading session today:
