Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Investor sentiment turned cautious amid escalating tensions along the Indo-Pak border. Mid- and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, driven by their elevated valuations and growing concerns over potential earnings downgrades following a muted start to the earnings season. The risk of the correction continuing in the near term is evident as investors adopt a wait-and-watch stance. However, it is a good time for persistent investors to dip into it, given the resilient nature of the Indian stock market during external & geopolitical volatility.
