Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert comment

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets remained volatile on the weekly expiry day, ending flat amid mixed cues. The session began on a positive note, but profit booking in select heavyweights erased early gains. As a result, the Nifty index closed nearly unchanged at 23,019.90. Sectorally, a mixed trend persisted, with pharma, metal, and realty sectors outperforming, while IT and FMCG lagged. Broader indices also experienced choppy trade, with small-caps slipping nearly half a per cent. 
 

The persistent selling pressure on rebounds suggests that bears remain firmly in control. Additionally, global uncertainties, including the risk of potential tariff wars, are likely to keep traders cautious. Given the current scenario, we recommend a stock-specific trading approach with a strong focus on risk management and wait for clarity.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Despite initial market optimism driven by easing domestic inflation data, the rally lost momentum amid uncertain global cues and subdued corporate earnings. Furthermore, a surge in Chinese technology stocks, fuelled by heightened interest in artificial intelligence, redirected FIIs in pursuit of more attractive returns. Market participants are now closely monitoring the outcome of the Trump-Modi discussions for any trade and tariff concessions for a potential pullback rally.
