Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic equity market continued to consolidate as profit booking followed last week's sharp rally. Investors remain watchful of developments surrounding the potential US–India trade agreement, with the 90-day pause nearing its end. FIIs have turned cautious in the recent days due to premium valuation. Despite these headwinds, sentiment remains supported by optimism surrounding the upcoming earnings season and the weakening US dollar index.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets traded volatile on the weekly expiry day and ended marginally lower, continuing the ongoing consolidation phase. After an initial uptick, the Nifty oscillated sharply in both directions while remaining within Wednesday’s trading range, ultimately closing at 25,405.30. Sector-wise, the trend remained mixed—auto and pharma posted gains, while metal and realty were among the top losers. The broader indices also mirrored this movement and closed on a flat note.

 

In the absence of any fresh trigger, the mixed trend among heavyweights is capping the Nifty's directional move. However, the overall trend remains bullish and is expected to stay intact unless the index decisively breaks below the 25,200 mark. On the upside, the 25,650–25,750 zone is likely to act as an immediate hurdle.

 

Meanwhile, individual stocks continue to offer ample opportunities, supported by rotational buying across sectors and noticeable resilience in the broader market. Participants should align their positions accordingly, with a strong focus on stock selection.
