Stock Market LIVE Updates: Fundamental view 

Global risk appetite improved after the US Fed rate cut, boosting liquidity optimism and lifting domestic equities despite the rupee hitting record lows and continued FII outflows. Auto, Metals, Consumer Durables, and Realty led gains, while FMCG and PSU Banks underperformed. Broader indices are showing buying interest, bouncing back post recent consolidation. India’s November CPI, due today, is expected to stay within RBI’s comfort zone, reinforcing policy stability expectations. Near-term focus: rupee levels, FII flows, and trade talks, with global cues from BoJ (likely to hike), ECB, and BoE policy signals.
