Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: National indices witnessed a volatile session, tempered by profit booking after a sharp rally. Investor caution dominated ahead of the Q2 earnings season, as market participants reassessed valuations and growth prospects. Sectoral trends were mixed — IT stocks outperformed on resilient demand and attractive valuations, while Auto, Banking, and FMCG faced profit-taking pressure. Heightened global uncertainties and the ongoing US government shutdown drove gold to a historical high, reflecting elevated risk aversion. Attention now turns to the September FOMC minutes for signals on the Fed’s policy stance.

Going forward, while global developments remain relevant, market focus is likely to shift toward domestic earnings, macroeconomic data, and the upcoming festive season.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 opened on a firm note but failed to sustain momentum beyond its immediate resistance zone near 25,200, triggering broad-based profit booking and selling pressure across key sectors such as banking, auto, FMCG, and realty. The index subsequently slipped to a weekly low of 25,008, where buying interest emerged around the psychological support of 25,000. Although mid-session recovery attempts were seen, the index faced renewed supply pressure near 25,130–25,150, forming a series of lower highs and lower lows on the intraday chart. Eventually, Nifty managed to close marginally above the 25,000 support zone, suggesting short-term consolidation with a mildly negative bias.
