Stock Market LIVE Updates: Pre-open technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: We will go in today, expecting a test of the lower extremity of the 25700-26220 range set early this week. Bearish bias should persist initially, but a large downside, with potential for 25500 initially, followed by 24571, the month’s low, will be brought into contention only if a fall and close past 25650 holds. Alternatively, ability to float above 25750 could signal easing of bearish momentum, but we would require a reclaiming of 25830/900 levels to signal positivity.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Pre-open expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets have fallen into a turbulent phase which will cause some panic among investors even while offering opportunities. The sell off in AI stocks in US markets was expected but the timing and extent of the sell-off was not known. The 2.04 per cent decline in Nasdaq is not a crash. But if the downtrend continues it might pull the US market down. For the Indian market, this correction in AI stocks is a positive, because last year’s global rally was primarily an AI trade in which India, an AI laggard, couldn’t participate. So the unwinding of the AI trade, If it persists, is a positive from the Indian perspective. However, what is rattling the Indian market now is the massive sell-off in IT stocks, which is the second largest profit pool of India Inc. The real impact of the ‘Anthropic shock’ on the IT sector is yet to be ascertained. Panic selling in IT stocks at this stage may not be a good idea. Investors may wait and watch for the dust to settle. 

 

The market turbulence can be used to accumulate high quality growth stocks, particularly those that have come out with good Q3 results. Auto stocks are likely to remain resilient, given the excellent results and growth prospects. Therefore, any downtrend in this segment due to market turbulence can offer buying opportunities.
