Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty index nearly tested the crucial support zone of its medium-term moving average, the 100-day EMA, in early trade, followed by a gradual recovery that lasted until the close. As a result, it ended near the day’s high at the 24,821.10 level. Notably, all key sectors contributed to the recovery, with realty, pharma, and energy emerging as the top gainers. 

 

The recovery in the Nifty was driven by oversold positions in heavyweight stocks, coupled with the presence of strong support at the 100-day EMA. However, participants should avoid reading too much into a single-day bounce and remain focused on selective stock picking and disciplined trade management, given the next resistance around the 25,000–25,100 zone. Moreover, the upcoming derivatives expiry and global developments could add to market volatility in the near term.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: This upward movement in Indian equities were driven by strong performances in sectors such as healthcare, realty, and pharmaceuticals, which saw gains exceeding 1 per cent. Other key sectors like autos, metals, energy, and infrastructure also contributed with gains ranging from around 0.7 per cent to 1 per cent. The positive close on this day can be attributed to a combination of sector-specific strength and improved investor sentiment despite ongoing concerns over trade negotiations and foreign institutional investor outflows.

The market showed resilience after recent downward pressure caused by stalled India-US trade talks and mixed quarterly earnings results. The healthcare and realty sectors provided defensive support, while select heavyweights boosted overall market breadth with more advancing stocks than decliners.

Looking ahead, market expectations are cautious but mildly optimistic. Investors are likely to focus on upcoming quarterly earnings for cues on corporate performance amid macroeconomic uncertainties. The unresolved India-US trade deal remains a significant headwind, but better stability in global markets and steady domestic institutional investment may underpin the market.
