Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market experienced a robust rally, spurred by value buying as valuations returned to long-term averages and early indications of earnings growth recovery emerged. Increased government spending and expected monetary easing are anticipated to boost optimism in rate-sensitive sectors such as banking, NBFCs, auto, consumer durables, and real estate, leading to potential outperformance.

The sustainability of this trend will depend on upcoming PMI data, Q4 earnings results, and developments related to reciprocal US tariffs.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty has witnessed a further extension of its upward move, rising above the resistance level of 23,600. The RSI is in a bullish crossover, coupled with the fact that the price has been sustaining above the 50 EMA for the last three days.

In the short term, the index is likely to remain strong as long as it stays above the support level of 23,500. Only a decisive fall below 23,500 might trigger a small correction in the market.
