Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian stock market closed on a positive note with the Nifty 50 rising by approximately 0.53 per cent to 25,219 points, recovering strongly from the previous day’s slight decline. The benchmark Sensex also showed robust gains, supported primarily by a rally in auto and financial sector stocks. Positive global cues played a significant role in this upward momentum—Asian markets were buoyant following the announcement of a US-Japan trade deal, which has renewed hopes for further trade agreements. 

 

Additionally, anticipation of upcoming US-China trade talks in Stockholm added to investor optimism. Key Nifty stocks like Tata Motors saw notable gains (around 2.6 per cent), alongside strength in Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra, reflecting broad-based sectoral support. The low Put-Call Ratios for Nifty and Bank Nifty indicated cautious optimism but suggested a likely rangebound or volatile session ahead. Market participants are closely watching upcoming corporate earnings and economic data that will shape momentum going forward.
