The Q3FY25 results of big businesses like HDFC Bank, Hindustan Unilever, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) would be the main focus of investors' attention today.

While signing first-day executive orders in the White House on Monday night, Trump said he was considering imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico in response to their border policies, beginning February 1. He also brought up China, implying that tariffs might be imposed if it rejects a TikTok agreement.
