Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty has been consolidating tightly over the last two sessions, oscillating within the 25,870–26,010 band. The 26,000 level continues to act as a supply zone, while consistent dip-buying interest is visible near 25,900–25,920, reflecting intraday indecision rather than weakness. 

The broader structure remains constructive as long as the index sustains above the 25,800–25,900 support cluster. However, near-term momentum appears subdued, with profit-booking emerging at higher levels. A sustained breakout above 26,000 is essential to revive bullish momentum. Such a move could open the path toward 26,100–26,300, with potential extension on follow-through buying. Conversely, a decisive break below 25,900 may invite short-term consolidation or a mild retracement toward 25,800. For now, the index remains range-bound with stock-specific action dominating the tape, unless a clear directional breakout unfolds.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic equities may enter a brief consolidation phase following this week’s strong rally driven by the US–India trade deal. Market attention has shifted back to mixed Q3 results, upcoming monthly inflation data, and finer details of the trade agreement, which is reportedly nearing finalisation. Strength in auto and healthcare sectors reflects better‑than‑expected earnings, while IT underperformed amid a global sell‑off linked to AI‑related volatility. Broader markets lagged, with Midcap and Smallcap indices posting modest declines. Globally, sentiment stayed cautious due to weak US retail sales and persistent AI‑related disruptions, keeping investors risk‑averse ahead of key US employment data. Meanwhile, domestic markets have begun to benefit from improving FII flows, which have turned positive and is expected continue due to upside in GDP forecast and moderation in India's valuations.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Why markets are not hitting previous highs despite India-US trade deal?

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The US-India deal is definitely a positive news with major support to be provided to sectors like textile and manufacturing however, factors like Anthropic’s "Claude Cowork" platform's impact on IT sector, fragility of the US-India trade deal due to Russian oil and potential US-Iran tussle's impact on oil prices are acting as headwinds. 

Talking about the IT sector, IT stocks are impacted due to the Claude Cowork platform which has introduced plugins capable of autonomously executing workflows in legal research, sales, marketing, and data analysis. Due to this, the IT stocks had a sharp decline. 
 

The US-India deal is fragile majorly due to the clause of Russian oil import. India has not officially released any statement on it which has led to a cautious stance on the trade deal aspect. 
 

Brent Crude prices were also up due to the US-Iran issue with US shot down an Iranian Drone which was approaching the US vessel. Since India is a major oil importer, rising oil prices will have a direct impact on the current account deficit, rupee movement and downstream marketing company's margins.
