Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The recent consolidation breakout, along with a move above the swing high, has increased the probability of the index reaching 25,690 in the short term. Immediate resistance is placed at 25,360, above which further upside potential may be unlocked. On the downside, 24,400 is expected to act as strong support in the short to medium term. A decisive break below this level could cause the ongoing rally to lose momentum. Until then, a buy-on-dips strategy is likely to remain effective.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market staged a robust rebound, closing with substantial gains, driven by a decline in domestic inflation and positive signals from the U.S. regarding a potential trade agreement with India. The benchmark index outperformed the broader market, buoyed by growing optimism around reduced operational costs and a potentially more accommodative monetary policy stance.

Rate-sensitive sectors such as automobiles and real estate led the rally, supported by upbeat industry forecasts. Investor attention is now turning to the upcoming speech by the Federal Reserve Chair, which is anticipated to provide further clarity on the future policy trajectory, particularly in light of the recent easing in U.S. inflation data.
