Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The global market is experiencing a heightened uncertainty due to US tariff impositions and counter threats from its peers. This ambiguity has led to increased risk aversion and diminished appeal of equities. EMs have been particularly affected, experiencing significant outflows. Lately, S&P 500 index is showing signs of a deeper correction, reflecting concerns about the potential impact of tariffs on the US economy.

In contrast, Indian markets have demonstrated resilience off late despite looming trade war. While a recovery in corporate earnings could significantly improve the domestic sentiments. Investors could go overweight on large caps given stability in earnings and increasing valuation comfort.
