Stock Market LIVE Updates: Fundamental View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Today, the Indian stock market witnessed a flat closing for the Nifty 50 index while the Bank Nifty ended on a positive note, signaling a mixed but cautiously optimistic market mood. The Nifty closed around the 25,763 mark with limited movement, reflecting investors' cautious stance amid ongoing consolidation after strong gains last month. Meanwhile, the Bank Nifty showed resilience and was up by 0.56% driven by PSU banks.

 

PSU banks rose on the back of stronger than expected quarterly earnings, healthier asset quality, and improved credit growth prospects, which helped restore investor confidence in the sector. Additionally, recent government measures to boost infrastructure spending and credit availability enhanced the outlook for public sector lenders, driving their outperformance. In contrast, private sector banks saw subdued gains as investors assessed regulatory developments and awaited further clarity on loan growth and asset quality trends. Looking ahead, market expectations remain cautiously positive as investors await fresh triggers from upcoming corporate earnings, key policy decisions, and global economic cues. Sustained foreign institutional inflows and favorable trade deal progress could provide directional support, while domestic elections and geopolitical factors remain key watch points. Overall, the market is poised for gradual recovery with a focus on stock-specific opportunities amid consolidation.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: AI boom, old bubble: Why America's stock surge looks dangerously familiar

Stock Market LIVE Updates: America’s stock market, unconcerned by trade tensions or fiscal strain, sits near a record high. The exuberance is driven by a new generation of techno-optimism — this time about artificial intelligence (AI).

The “Magnificent Seven” (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla) now account for roughly 38 per cent of S&P 500’s market capitalisation and about half its profits. Their dominance, and the feverish faith in a new technology revolution, evokes memories of the late 1990s dotcom mania.

S&P’s cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio has breached 40 for the first time since 2000, when it reached 44 — shortly before the benchmark plunged by nearly half, as the internet bubble burst.

Then, as now, the conviction that a digital revolution would rewrite the rules justified almost any valuation. Then, as now, the danger is that when the music stops, the fall will be sudden, faster, and deeper than anyone expects. READ MORE

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amazon job cuts show how AI may upend India's white-collar future

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amazon.com Inc.’s latest global layoffs should come as a singular warning to India. For policymakers dealing with the world’s largest youth population, AI suddenly poses a very real risk to jobs, wages, and a white-collar future.

 

The e-commerce and cloud services giant’s elimination of 14,000 corporate positions worldwide may not have a large direct impact on its sizeable Indian workforce.
