Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian markets have enthusiastically responded to the RBI's unexpected 25 bps rate cut, a move that seemed unlikely given the strong Q2 GDP data. This surprise, combined with sharply lower inflation forecasts and supportive liquidity measures, has triggered a risk-on sentiment across equities. Rate-sensitive sectors such as autos, real estate, and NBFCs are leading the gains due to reduction in cost.

While private banks have also gained on expectation of treasury profits, concerns around net interest margins (NIM) have limited their upside. Overall, the short-term outlook remains cautiously positive, with a focus on strong corporate earnings in December. However, near-term risks such as a widening current account deficit and global trade tensions continue to pose challenges. The stance of the US Fed on rate cuts will be crucial for maintaining the domestic trend for the month.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty 50 closed near 26,200, firmly holding above the 26,000 psychological mark. Strong support remains intact in the 26,000–26,100 band, which continues to act as the immediate demand base. However, the index is still facing supply pressure near the 26,250–26,300 resistance zone, where profit-booking is visible. A sustained closing above 26,300 is required to unlock the next upside leg towards 26,450–26,600.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Iinvestment strategies should focus on accrual at the shorter end'

Stock Market LIVE Updates:  "The MPC’s unanimous decision to implement a dovish rate cut underscores its commitment to supporting support growth amid benign inflation, which remains below the lower band of 2 per cent. While the likelihood of further near-term cuts is limited, the RBI has announced robust liquidity measures, including ₹1 lakh crore of OMO purchases and a 3-year USD/INR buy-sell swap of $5 billion this month, aimed at ensuring systemic liquidity and stabilizing the INR. Transient liquidity needs will be managed through VRRR operations. These actions signal a clear intent to maintain financial stability and support economic momentum. With durable liquidity and a low probability of immediate rate cuts, yields are expected to remain firm and anchored. In this environment, investment strategies should focus on accrual at the shorter end and carry opportunities at the longer end, aligning with the evolving policy stance and market dynamics"

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Policy measures will further power the growth impulses"

Stock Market LIVE Updates:  "The policy measures demonstrates that the central bank has continued focus on supporting growth while maintaining macroeconomic stability and balancing inflation. The 25 bps rate cut along with Rs 1 lakh crore in OMO purchases and the USD/INR swap offer appropriate liquidity  measures to further boost the liquidity condition. With CPI inflation for the full year is projected at 2 per cent, and core inflation staying anchored, the macroeconomic scenario remains highly supportive for accelerated growth momentum. The policy announcements also reflect the central bank's confidence in the growth phase the economy is in currently. On the back of robust rural demand, recovery of urban demand and private investment gaining pace, the policy measures will definitely further power the growth impulses."
