Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates:  "Markets remained lackluster and ended nearly half a percent lower, continuing the ongoing consolidation phase. After an initial decline, the Nifty index traded within a narrow range and eventually settled at the 24,853.40 level. Barring the IT sector, all key indices edged lower, with pharma, metal, and realty among the top losers. Following the recent rebound, the broader indices also witnessed profit-taking and declined by over half a percent each.

 

In the absence of any major domestic events, global cues—such as updates on ongoing geopolitical tensions and the outcome of the FOMC meeting—will guide the market trend and are likely to keep volatility elevated. Amid this backdrop, participants should maintain a stock-specific trading approach while managing position sizes prudently."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian investors stay steady while foreign flows react to global tensions

"The Indian market hasn’t fully priced in the Israeli conflict yet. So far, the escalation hasn’t reached a threshold to trigger a sharp market reaction, but if tensions intensify further, a significant correction is likely. However, such a correction should be viewed as a ‘buy on dips’ opportunity, as the broader fundamentals remain strong. If geopolitical tensions flare up again, the most immediate impact would likely be felt in the oil markets. Any disruption in supply or trade routes can drive crude prices higher, which in turn puts pressure on oil marketing companies.

Additionally, we can expect a spike in gold prices as investors typically turn to safe-haven assets during uncertain times. Aviation may not be directly impacted unless there are broader disruptions to international routes or fuel costs rise significantly. FMCG may also see only limited impact unless supply chains are affected. This divergence in flows suggests that domestic investors are maintaining a steady outlook, showing confidence in the market despite global uncertainties.

On the other hand, foreign investors seem more cautious, likely reacting more sharply to geopolitical developments. This contrast highlights that domestic participants are focusing more on India’s structural strength, while foreign investors are responding to broader global risk factors."
