Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian equity indices recovered nearly 750-800 points from their day's lows, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of global uncertainties. The market's recovery was primarily driven by strong buying interest in banking heavyweights and select IT stocks. HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries led the recovery, while Hero MotoCorp emerged as a standout performer, surging 4 per cent after reporting better-than-expected Q1 results despite weak sales.

The IT sector provided crucial support, with the Nifty IT index gaining 0.87 per cent, as investors viewed the Trump tariff impact as potentially benefiting IT services through currency depreciation. Markets initially opened under pressure following Trump's executive order doubling tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent, citing India's continued oil purchases from Russia. The 21-day implementation window provided some relief, we believe this creates negotiation space between the two countries. Despite the tariff concerns, the market's ability to recover from intraday lows of nearly 700 points on the Sensex demonstrated underlying strength and buying appetite at lower levels.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Domestic equities recovered sharply from the intraday lows amid a volatile weekly expiry day. Although the earlier trade was weighed down by broad-based selling following steep US tariff hikes on India, sentiment improved toward the close as reports of potential peace talks involving Trump, Putin, and Zelensky which raised hopes of a softer US stance on trade. This renewed optimism triggered a strong rebound in the auto, pharma, metals, and energy sectors and aided the market in recalling its trajectory and concluding in the green.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: FPI selloff may worsen as Trump ups India tariffs pressure

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The ongoing foreign portfolio investor (FPI) selloff in Indian markets may deepen further after the US President Donald Trump escalated tariff measures against India, which is already witnessing the highest outflows among emerging markets (EM).
