Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The risk-averse sentiment continues to rule investors’ minds as corporate earnings are significantly lower than the market expectations during the start of the year, especially for mid- and small caps. Muted earnings trend, INR depreciation along with external factors like tariffs are expected to keep the sentiments weak in the near term, which could further push FIIs outflows. Volatility is expected to stay elevated until there is clarity on tariffs and a recovery in corporate earnings.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty continues to reel under a bear attack, closing below 23,000 after spending a few days floating above this level. Sentiment remains weak, even though the index managed to close 155 points off its low, as it continues to trade below a critical short-term moving average. A decisive fall from 22,800 could trigger further panic in the market. On the higher end, 23,100 appears to be the immediate resistance, above which the market may see some respite.
