Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets ended the week on a firm note, gaining nearly a percent, supported by favorable domestic cues. The tone was initially cautious ahead of the outcome of the MPC’s monetary policy review, but sentiment turned sharply positive following the surprise announcement of a 50-basis points repo rate cut and a staggered 100 basis points reduction in the CRR. This triggered a strong upward move, followed by a range-bound phase for the remainder of the session. Eventually, the Nifty index settled near the day’s high at 25,003.05.

 

All key sectors contributed to the rally, with rate-sensitive segments such as realty, financials, and auto emerging as top gainers, closely followed by others. The broader indices also extended their winning streak, rising between 0.8 per cent and 1.2 per cent.

 

Although the Nifty remains in a consolidation phase, the buoyancy in rate-sensitive sectors—particularly the breakout seen in the banking index—has renewed hopes of a trend resumption. A decisive breakout above the 25,200 mark in the Nifty could trigger the next leg of the rally, potentially pushing the index toward the 25,600 level.

 

Going forward, the impact of the rate cut is expected to continue influencing market sentiment. Rate-sensitive pack, along with select themes like railways, are likely to stay in focus, while other sectors may contribute on a rotational basis. We continue to recommend a “buy on dips” strategy with an emphasis on selective stock picking.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The stock index has moved up sharply following a bazooka policy move by the RBI. It closed above the 25,000 mark after several sessions, indicating a surge in optimism among market participants. Typically, a rally followed by consolidation often results in an upward breakout, and this time too, we expect Nifty to break out above the recent consolidation range.

On the higher side, resistance is placed at 25,150. A move above this level — or even a sustained close above 25,000 — could set the stage for the index to rally towards 25350. On the downside, support is placed at 24,850. A breach below this level may weaken the current rally and trigger some profit booking.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'RBI policy today signals clear message to lower lending rates'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The RBI has delivered a policy bonanza with the clear objective of hastening monetary transmission by the banking system and propelling growth. The RBI MPC announced a surprise 50bps cut in the policy repo rate to 5.50%, a completely unexpected 100bps rate cut in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) from 2HFY26., yet accompanied by a shift in stance to neutral from accommodative. 

The outsized cut and guidance on liquidity are bold and clear signals for policy transmission to lower lending rates. Money market rates are significantly lower by 20-35 bps, while government bond yields are mixed, with short end yields lower but longer end yields somewhat higher, as prospects of further OMOs have clearly diminished. Corporate bonds in the 2–5-year segment have performed very well, with yields moving lower, along with spread compression on the back of these measures. We remain positive on our outlook for interest rates, with a focus on the short to medium end of the corporate bond curve.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market view on RBI rate cut

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The MPC Policy today was as dovish as it could get with MPC delivering a higher than expected rate cut of 50bps. The 100bps CRR cut which was a total surprise. Another surprise was the change in the monetary policy stance back to "Neutral" from "Accommodative", with the RBI Governor's statement mentioning that after reducing the policy repo rate by 100bps since Feb 2025, monetary policy is left with very limited space to support growth.

Thus, the yield curve, which was already steep, steepened further with shorter duration bonds outperforming. We expect the yield curve to remain steep and do not expect any further rate cuts over the next two quarters.
