Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market traded within a narrow range in negative terrain. Investors are weighing the improved domestic outlook, buoyed by a favourable budget, against lingering global uncertainties stemming from the tariff war.
While declining US bond yields and lower crude oil prices have supported market sentiment, the rupee's depreciation could offset these gains. Rate-sensitive sectors are attracting attention ahead of a potential Reserve Bank of india (RBI) rate cut. Meanwhile, large-cap stocks are well-positioned, benefiting from moderation in valuations.
