Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The national market continued the renewed momentum, buoyed by expectations of GST rationalisation and a recent upgrade in India's credit rating. Additional optimism came from signs of easing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, shifting the near-term outlook from consolidation to a more constructive stance. However, the uptrend may face resistance until greater clarity emerges on US-India trade negotiations. Notably, small- and mid-cap stocks outperformed, with auto stocks leading gains, driven by hopes that China may address supply concerns related to rare earth magnets."
