Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The dip in the index reflects caution among participants despite easing geopolitical tensions and stable global cues. However, we expect the overall tone to remain positive, given the noticeable support in the 24,400–24,600 zone. The focus should remain on identifying key sectors and themes showing relative strength and using intermediate pauses to accumulate quality stocks.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market witnessed profit booking today, following yesterday’s sharp rally. The relief-driven surge—fuelled by easing global and domestic risks, including a reduction in trade war tensions and Indo-Pak geopolitical stress—appears to be taking a breather. This consolidation is primarily affecting large-cap stocks, while mid- and small-cap segments continue to gain traction.

This divergence is expected to persist, supported by broad-based earnings improvements reflected in Q4 results so far. Looking ahead, there is increasing optimism around FY26 earnings growth, underpinned by supportive fiscal and monetary policies, a rebound in external demand, a favorable monsoon outlook, and declining inflation and interest rates. These factors collectively suggest that midcaps are well-positioned to catch up and potentially outperform in the coming quarters.
