Top Indian stocks today: HCLTech slides on CLSA downgrade as CSB Bank hits record; Nifty pares early high

Top Indian stocks today: HCLTech slides on CLSA downgrade as CSB Bank hits record; Nifty pares early high

MUMBAI, Jan 5, 2026, 02:08 ET Indian IT shares dragged benchmarks lower on Monday after CLSA downgraded HCLTech and Tech Mahindra, blunting an early push to fresh highs. The Nifty 50 traded down 0.13% and the Sensex fell 0.16% by 10:05 a.m. IST. Reuters The hesitancy matters because the Nifty still hovers near lifetime highs, and investors now need earnings to justify stretched expectations. A soft patch in IT — a key export-facing sector — can quickly change how global funds price India’s growth story. Reuters IT often acts as a sentiment bellwether because it earns a large share of

Northern lights forecast tonight: Solar storm watch meets the Wolf Moon

Northern lights forecast tonight: Solar storm watch meets the Wolf Moon

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:16 ET U.S. space weather forecasters expect a minor geomagnetic storm on Sunday, a development that can brighten the northern night sky with auroras, also known as the northern lights. The timing matters because skywatchers are already dealing with a bright, near-full Wolf Moon that can wash out faint sky targets. Any aurora strong enough to punch through that glare would be more noticeable across northern viewing zones. The forecast also matters beyond stargazing. Geomagnetic storms, driven by bursts of solar material, can disrupt radio communications and affect satellites, adding operational risk for aviation and

SOHO spots water gushing from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its Sun pass

SOHO spots water gushing from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its Sun pass

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 17:01 ET Scientists have measured water streaming from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its late-October pass around the Sun, using a solar-monitoring spacecraft to estimate how fast the object was shedding ice into space.  Phys The timing matters because most early work on 3I/ATLAS focused on its approach, when sunlight was ramping up the comet’s activity. Post-perihelion data are harder to capture as objects fade and move farther from Earth, leaving a narrow window to document how a fresh interstellar visitor “winds down.”  Phys Interstellar objects are rare: 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed body observed

SYDNEY, Jan 4, 2026, 16:15 ET — Market closed Shares of National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB.AX) ended Friday at A$42.40, up 0.21%, after a thin start to the new year kept investors focused on the next run of interest-rate signals. The timing matters because Australia’s big banks have become a quick read on where investors think the Reserve Bank of Australia is headed. The next marker comes on Jan. 7, when the Australian Bureau of Statistics is scheduled to publish its Consumer Price Index for November.
