Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: An unexpected pause on reciprocal tariffs by the US provided relief in the midst of the uncertainty. Though the IT major’s result missed the street estimates, it opines optimism in the latter half of FY26 owing to growth in the order book. Any development in the bilateral trade negotiations can alter the near-term outlook on the export-driven sectors. The supportive domestic environment with an ease in interest rates and a benign inflation trajectory is encouraging investors to have a balanced portfolio to aid in a better risk-reward in the long term.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty faced resistance around the 21-EMA on the daily timeframe, leading to a close off the day’s high. The trend appears bearish unless it decisively moves above 23,000, where significant open interest has been added. On the downside, support is placed at 22,750; a break below this level could intensify the bearish sentiment. Conversely, a decisive move above 23,000 may trigger a rally towards 23,500, as suggested by the positive divergence in the RSI.
