Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian markets have enthusiastically responded to the RBI's unexpected 25 bps rate cut, a move that seemed unlikely given the strong Q2 GDP data. This surprise, combined with sharply lower inflation forecasts and supportive liquidity measures, has triggered a risk-on sentiment across equities. Rate-sensitive sectors such as autos, real estate, and NBFCs are leading the gains due to reduction in cost.

While private banks have also gained on expectation of treasury profits, concerns around net interest margins (NIM) have limited their upside. Overall, the short-term outlook remains cautiously positive, with a focus on strong corporate earnings in December. However, near-term risks such as a widening current account deficit and global trade tensions continue to pose challenges. The stance of the US Fed on rate cuts will be crucial for maintaining the domestic trend for the month.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty 50 closed near 26,200, firmly holding above the 26,000 psychological mark. Strong support remains intact in the 26,000–26,100 band, which continues to act as the immediate demand base. However, the index is still facing supply pressure near the 26,250–26,300 resistance zone, where profit-booking is visible. A sustained closing above 26,300 is required to unlock the next upside leg towards 26,450–26,600.
