Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets traded lacklustre on the weekly expiry day and ended almost flat amid mixed cues. The US Fed's decision to maintain the status quo, which was largely anticipated, failed to elicit any significant reaction. Following a flat start, the Nifty moved in a narrow range and finally settled at 24,793.25. Most sectors ended in the red, with realty, metal, and energy being the top losers. The broader indices underperformed, declining in the range of 1.6 per cent to 1.9 per cent.

 

The strength in the benchmark index does not reflect the underlying market tone, as we are witnessing gradual profit booking across sectors and in the broader market. With geopolitical tensions driving crude prices higher, further deterioration is likely if crude makes a sustained move above the $80 mark. We reiterate our cautious view and advise closely monitoring positions until we see further clarity.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian equity index experienced rangebound movement with a negative bias as cautious sentiment spread across the globe, driven by concerns over potential US involvement in the Middle East conflict. Investor mood was further affected by the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged while signalling persistent inflation and slower economic growth, which weighed on software export stocks. Broader market performance lagged the benchmark index, influenced by selling in mid- & small-caps, while better stability was noticed in large-cap growth stocks, keeping a close watch on crude oil prices and global developments.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Analysis: Can crude oil prices rally more as Israel-Iran war escalates?

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Crude oil prices have been buoyed by escalating tensions in West Asia, particularly following Iran's Supreme Leader's declaration rejecting US President Donald Trump's call for unconditional surrender. This geopolitical standoff, coupled with a sharp drawdown in US inventories, has kept prices elevated. WTI crude surged from $65 on June 10 to $75 by June 16, driven by Israel's military strikes on Iran and fears of disruption to the Strait of Hormuz—a vital artery for global energy trade. 

 

The strait handles nearly 20 per cent of seaborne oil and a quarter of LNG exports, making it a key pressure point in the conflict. Despite a brief pullback, oil remains up 7 per cent year-to-date, 20 per cent over the past month, and 10 per cent in the last five trading sessions. The potential for US involvement has further intensified market concerns, reinforcing the risk premium embedded in current prices. READ MORE
