Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty remained volatile on the first day of the new series before closing with weakness. Since Nifty made a high around the previous swing of 23,800, the index has been consolidating. Going forward, 23,400 might act as immediate support. A fall below 23,400 could take Nifty towards 23,200, where crucial support is placed.

 

If Nifty holds above 24,200, it may witness further upside. On the other hand, if the Nifty does not fall below 23,400, it might rise towards 23,600 and higher.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Asian markets are experiencing a new phase of consolidation as the latest US tariff measures are expected to have a significant impact on major manufacturing economies. Additionally, a rise in Japan's CPI has contributed to the prevailing weakness.

Domestically, the market’s upward momentum has stalled as investors evaluate the implications of these tariffs on the auto, ancillary, pharma and others sectors. Meanwhile, gold prices have reached a new high, on concerns that a deepening of the trade war could further deteriorate global economic health.
