Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The index has experienced a sharp decline, approaching the 50EMA on the daily chart. This drop follows a recent phase of consolidation, signaling a weakening sentiment. However, in the near term, the 50EMA support could play a crucial role in stabilising the market. If this level holds, we may see a recovery.

 

That said, a decisive breakdown below 23,115 could trigger a deeper correction. On the upside, resistance is observed at 23,250—a breakout above this level could reignite bullish momentum in the market.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Amid heightened global volatility ahead of the anticipated US reciprocal tariff announcement tomorrow, the domestic market witnessed a significant sell-off today. Investors are eagerly awaiting the specifics of these tariffs while also keeping a close eye on ongoing negotiations for a potential Indo-US trade agreement.

The IT sector was among the hardest hit due to its substantial exposure to the US market, and real estate stocks fell following Maharashtra's upward revision of ready reckoner rates, which affect property valuations. Additionally, rising oil prices further dampened market sentiment. Despite the short-term volatility related to tariffs, positive domestic factors such as an expected recovery in earnings growth, potential interest rate cuts by the RBI, and moderation in valuations are likely to provide stability and support for investors.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: India VIX jumps 10% on tariff fears; no need to panic, says Deven Choksey

Stock Market LIVE Updates: India's stock market volatility gauge surged by 10 per cent on Tuesday, reflecting heightened trader concerns ahead of the implementation of US reciprocal tariffs, scheduled for Wednesday.
