Stock Market LIVE Updates: Fundamental view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic equities swung between gains and losses amid mixed global cues, even as the rupee strengthened. Selective risk appetite was evident in pockets of the market, with mid and small caps outperforming large caps. Reports of a potential US–Iran agreement to gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushed crude below $100 per barrel, easing near-term inflation concerns. However, optimism faded quickly amid uncertainty around nuclear enrichment discussions, triggering profit booking. Sectorally, auto, healthcare, and financial services witnessed gains, while IT and FMCG declined. Going ahead, Q4 earnings and management guidance will remain key drivers of sentiment, though markets are likely to stay volatile until clearer signals emerge from West Asia.
