Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market’s measured response to the US tariffs reflects expectations of ongoing trade discussions between India and the US, as well as the possibility of higher tariffs impacting other countries more significantly, limiting the impact on Indian exports.

 

From a technical perspective, traders should closely monitor the 20-day exponential moving average (DEMA) at 23,100. A break below this level could intensify selling pressure, potentially dragging the index toward 22,800. Conversely, holding above this level would likely sustain the range-bound movement. Amidst this consolidation, selective pockets across sectors are showing strength. Until a clear directional move emerges, the focus should remain on stock-specific opportunities.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market initially showed signs of recovery but ended with modest losses after the announcement of a relatively lower 27 per cent tariff on US imports. The IT and auto sectors experienced selling pressure due to US slowdown concerns and disruptions in the supply chain. Conversely, pharmaceutical stocks benefited from being exempt from the tariffs. Nonetheless, robust domestic macroeconomic data and lower crude oil prices aided the broader market performance. Although the tariff presents short-term challenges, India's economic resilience and bilateral trade agreement may help mitigate the overall impact.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Near term market volatility is expected: Axis Securities

Market volatility is expected to remain elevated in the near term due to the extent of the tariffs, which have surpassed market expectations. These measures are inherently inflationary and could complicate the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy trajectory. Furthermore, any escalation in trade disruptions may heighten recessionary risks in the US, leading to a broader slowdown in global economic activity.

 

Given the significant influence of the US economy on global financial markets, short-term sentiment is likely to be impacted. However, we see this volatility as an opportunity.
