Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical View

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty50 opened on a positive footing but quickly ran into selling pressure near the 25,950 resistance zone. The index then drifted into a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, testing the 25,735 intraday low, almost identical to the previous session’s bottom. Once again, the 50-day EMA near 25,729 acted as a critical demand zone, attracting defensive buying interest. However, despite this support, the index failed to generate any meaningful recovery and ended the session on a weak note.

Structurally, Nifty continues to face strong supply in the 25,940–26,050 zone, keeping the broader setup range-bound to mildly bullish. A decisive breakout above 26,000 remains essential to revive upside momentum. On the downside, a sustained break below 25,700 could expose the index to 25,600–25,500, with volatility expected to intensify near these support clusters.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Global equity markets experienced continued volatility due to rising Japanese bond yields and indications of BOJ monetary tightening, which are fostering risk-off sentiments in emerging markets. Focus now shifts to the upcoming U.S. Fed meeting, where a 25-bps rate cut is widely expected. However, internal divisions and mixed economic indicators may temper expectations for further rate cuts in 2026. Indian markets mirrored global caution, weighed down by persistent FII outflows, INR weakness, and uncertainty surrounding U.S.–India trade negotiations despite ongoing discussions. In the near term, market direction will be influenced by central bank cues and clarity on trade developments.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Hotel room rates in metro cities to rise, tier-2 prices may soften: YES Sec

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The average room rate (ARR) of hotels, located in top metro cities, may continue to rise over the next five years, while it may stagnate, or decrease, in tier-2 cities, shows a study by YES Securities.

 

The analysis is based on the average demand and supply growth projections over financial year 2024-25 to 2029-30 (FY25-30), which reveals that metros and top 20 destinations are expected to witness a relatively lower supply growth, while mid-premium and economy segments are expected to see higher supply addition during the period.

 

According to the brokerage, the key reason behind a lag in supply can be attributed to sluggish active development pipeline, which stands at 78 per cent as of FY25. READ MORE
