Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The Indian equity market exhibited downward movement, closing at a three-month low amid growing concerns over the impact of US tariffs on Indian exports. FIIs remained net sellers, intensifying the pressure on domestic indices. The pessimism was broad-based, with realty and metals bearing the biggest brunt. Additionally, global financial institutions have begun revising India’s economic outlook downward, citing the adverse effects of the ongoing tariff concern. Growth projections for 2025 and 2026 have been lowered, reflecting heightened uncertainty surrounding India’s trade and macroeconomic environment."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The bears resumed their downward move after a brief pause in the previous session. Nifty extended its losing streak to the sixth consecutive week, slipping below its 100-DMA at 24500, which is now expected to act as an immediate hurdle. The 200-DMA, placed at 24,050, is likely to offer near-term support. The overall trend remains weak as long as the index trades below 24,800, with any pullbacks likely to face selling pressure."
