Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic markets ended higher after staging a strong rebound, supported by an upbeat economic survey that reaffirmed a robust FY27 growth outlook and a well‑anchored inflation environment amidst persistent global uncertainties. Global cues were largely constructive, though elevated bullion and crude prices due to escalating US–Iran tensions weighed on overall risk sentiment.

Sectorally, FMCG, IT, and Auto stocks underperformed, while Metals outperformed on expectations of stronger realizations driven by firm commodity prices.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty closed marginally higher near 25,400, confirming a short-term rebound after decisively holding the 25,150–25,200 support zone, which aligns with the 200-day EMA on the daily chart. Intraday price action formed a clear higher-low and higher-high structure from the morning dip, with sustained trade above 25,300, reflecting active dip-buying interest.

Immediate resistance is placed at 25,450–25,500, where supply remains visible. A sustained breakout above this band could open the path toward 25,600–25,800 in the near term. On the downside, 25,300 is the immediate support, followed by a strong demand zone at 25,160–25,200. Momentum indicators are supportive but measured; RSI around 43 indicates consolidation with a positive bias rather than an aggressive trend. The bias continues to favor buy-on-dips as long as Nifty holds above 25,200, with a clearer directional move likely only on a decisive break above 25,500.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'INR to move around the current level till RBI intervenes'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: “Dollar appreciation and rupee depreciation is the normal trend. India’s chronic trade and current account deficits ensured a long-term depreciation of the rupee by an average annual rate of around 4 per cent. But now we are going through a new trend of sharp rupee depreciation even when the dollar is weakening against other currencies. In 2025 when most emerging market currencies appreciated against the dollar, rupee depreciated by around 5%. 

 

The principal reason for rupee depreciation is the sustained FII selling by FPIs which crossed $18 billion in 2025. This trend of sustained selling by FIIs is continuing so far this year. RBI’s policy of not intervening in the forex market to stem the currency decline is adding to the depreciation. Exporters anticipating further decline are delaying bringing their forex earnings back to India. All these are contributing to the continued depreciation in rupee. 

 

Rupee is likely to move around the current level till RBI intervenes in the market. A sudden reversal of the trend can happen if the much-delayed US-India trade deal happens. When FIIs turn buyers in India rupee can appreciate to below 90 to the dollar level.”
