Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Despite negative global cues related to Trump-Fed tensions, the national market has maintained its optimism. The RBI's relaxed liquidity coverage ratio guidelines, which are anticipated to enhance credit growth, boosted the finance sector. Foreign inflows have remained consistent for the fourth consecutive day, driven by a weakening dollar and competitive valuations.

Additionally, domestic macroeconomic conditions are improving, with declining inflation and rising expectations of further rate cuts by the RBI, which are likely to lower costs and stimulate demand. These factors are expected to support corporate earnings in FY26.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty remained mostly range-bound as the index closed with a small-bodied, indecisive candle. Although the index stayed above the 200DMA throughout the day, the rise remained limited. Going forward, the trend continues to look optimistic, at least as long as it does not fall decisively below 24,000. On the higher side, the short-term bullish outlook remains intact, with the possibility of a move towards 24,500. On the lower side, support is placed at 24,000; a break below this level could trigger a minor pullback.
