Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market experienced a broad-based decline, slipping below the 26,000 mark as investors turned cautious ahead of this week’s FED policy decision. Despite robust domestic growth figures and the RBI’s recent rate cut, short-term sentiment remains overshadowed by global monetary policy concerns, persistent FII outflows, and currency depreciation. Volatility was further amplified by a surge in Japanese bond yields to multi-year highs, sparking fears of a potential unwinding of the yen carry trade.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Looking at key levels, the zone of 25,850–25,800 zone, which coincides with the previous swing low is likely to act as an important support zone for the Index. Any sustained move below 25,800 could lead to Nifty drifting further down, potentially taking it lower towards 25,650 followed by 25,500. On the upside, the zone of 26,150-26,200 is likely to act as a strong resistance for the Index.
