Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian stock market closed with modest gains, reflecting cautious optimism amid ongoing global and domestic developments. The positive closing was driven by sustained domestic buying interest, particularly from Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs). Key sectors like Realty and Pharma outperformed, gaining 0.9 per cent and 0.8 per cent respectively, while selective buying was seen in FMCG and Auto stocks.

Investor sentiment remained cautious due to uncertainties surrounding the imminent US tariff deadline on July 9 and regulatory actions by Sebi, including a notable interim ban on US quant firm Jane Street for alleged market manipulation. Despite these concerns, the market maintained stability above critical support levels. The India VIX hovered near a nine-month low at around 12.32, indicating low volatility and subdued risk appetite.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian market is experiencing a pause as investors adopt a wait-and-watch strategy ahead of the impending US tariff deadline with mixed global cues. Ongoing FII outflows reflect a risk-off approach, while DII inflows are offering partial support. Following the recent rally, main indices are hovering near peak valuation levels, limiting further upside, which is highly dependent on Q1 earnings and details of the trade deal. In the mid- and small-cap space, the market has shifted to being more stock-specific following the recent recovery.
