Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Modest earnings growth in Q3 FY25, coupled with sustained selling by FIIs, is limiting the potential for a near-term market rebound. A weakening rupee and a widening trade deficit are likely to heighten investor caution. Despite a nosedive correction in broader indices, valuations remain unappealing. However, any easing of US trade uncertainties and initial signs of a recovery in discretionary spending could help support a market rebound.
