Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty experienced a significant decline on Friday, shedding over 400 points after a consolidation breakdown. The RSI remains bearish but has entered the oversold zone. In the near term, Nifty is expected to find support around 21,800-22,000. A sustained move above 21,800 could lead to a significant recovery, while failure to hold this level may trigger another sharp decline.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The recent rise in US bond yields is making American investments more attractive, prompting Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) to pull money out of Indian markets and shift to the US and China. Additionally, China’s pro-business policies have revived investor confidence, further drawing funds away from India. However, long-term investors shouldn’t panic over these short-term movements. India’s economy remains strong, and such market dips often present great buying opportunities for those who stick to a disciplined investment strategy

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The national market experienced a sharp decline amid heightened bearish sentiment largely influenced by weak global cues. The decline was largely triggered on fear of the implementation of 25% tariff on U.S. imports from Canada and Mexico, set to take effect next week, along with an additional 10 per cent tariff on Chinese goods. Adding to market jitters, the potential imposition of tariffs on the European Union has further fuelled uncertainty. As investors navigate this volatility, all eyes are on the domestic Q3 GDP data, which could provide vital insights into the economic recovery trajectory and influence market direction.
