Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The key benchmark indices witnessed declines amid US fiscal concerns that the proposed budget bill could significantly increase the national debt, pushing US treasury yield higher due to tepid long term bond demand. Adding to the pressure, a major credit rating agency’s downgrade of the US credit outlook sparked broad-based selloffs across Asian markets. Despite a notable improvement in India’s PMI in May and uptick in fiscal scenario, ongoing uncertainty around US-India trade negotiations and persistent global market volatility are likely to keep Indian equities in a consolidation phase in the near term.
