Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "Domestic equities ended lower as pessimism took hold following the implementation of tariffs on Indian goods, dampening investor sentiments. While the cotton import duty exemption briefly lifted hopes of policy support to counter tariff impacts, triggering a short-lived intraday recovery, investor mood remained fragile, with large caps declining and mid and small caps underperforming amid risk-off sentiment. Most sectors, including Auto, IT, FMCG, and Metals, traded in the red as investors turned to profit booking from recent gains, while Consumer Durables outperformed, likely supported by GST rationalisation and expectations of festive demand."
