Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The index has witnessed a significant recovery from negativity as the Nifty reversed momentum following an inverted hammer pattern. On the hourly RSI, a hidden positive divergence is visible. However, sentiment remains “sell on rise” as long as the index stays below 24,850. Only a decisive move beyond 24,850 might induce a rally towards 25,250/25,500. On the lower end, support is placed at 24,500."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "India’s Q1 GDP growth of 7.8 per cent, exceeding projections, has reinforced investor confidence in the economy’s resilience amid global uncertainties. Expectations of GST rationalisation at the upcoming council meeting continue to bolster sentiment, supporting discretionary consumption. This optimism is particularly benefiting sectors such as Auto and Consumer Durables. However, the risk of a potential revenue shortfall from proposed GST slab adjustments has heightened concerns over increased government borrowing, pushing domestic bond yields higher. Additionally, the impact of recently imposed tariffs is expected to become more evident from Q2 onwards, with markets awaiting greater clarity on their wider economic implications, which will be pivotal in determining near-term market trends."

Stock Market LIVE Updates: GST 2.0 should pave way towards single nationwide tax rate: Report

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The long-term success of Goods and Services Tax (GST) lies in moving towards a single nationwide tax rate, and that GST 2.0 must act as the stepping stone by keeping to just two slabs 5 per cent and 18 per cent while capping the peak rate firmly at 18 per cent, not 40 per cent, a report said.

 

"Creating a 40 per cent slab, even for a narrow set of sin or luxury goods, will set a precedent for creeping expansion. Over time, more items will be drawn into this category, undermining the very purpose of simplification," Think Change Forum, a think tank, said in a report on Monday. READ MORE

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Trump plans hefty tax on imported drugs, risking higher prices, shortages

Stock Market LIVE Updates: President Donald Trump has plastered tariffs on products from almost every country on earth. He's targeted specific imports, including autos, steel and aluminium.

 

But he isn't done yet.

 

Trump has promised to impose hefty import taxes on pharmaceuticals, a category of products he's largely spared in his trade war. For decades, in fact, imported medicine has mostly been allowed to enter the United States duty-free.

 

That's starting to change. US and European leaders recently detailed a trade deal that includes a 15 per cent tariff rate on some European goods brought into the United States, including pharmaceuticals. Trump is threatening duties of 200 per cent more on drugs made elsewhere. READ MORE

Stock Market LIVE Updates: India's strong GDP growth fails to boost equity markets amid US tariffs

Stock Market LIVE Updates: India's world-beating economic growth is failing to translate into gains for equity markets as weakening pricing power and US tariffs weigh on corporate earnings, turning foreign investors away.

 

Gross domestic product (GDP) in India grew at a faster-than-expected 7.8 per cent in the April-June quarter in real terms. However, nominal growth, which represents output at current market prices, fell to 8.8 per cent from 10.8 per cent in the previous three months, indicating a drop in inflation.

 

This trend was also seen in corporate earnings, with revenue growth of the top 3,000 listed Indian companies slipping to a seven-quarter low of 3.4 per cent on-year, down from 5.1 per cent in the previous three months and 6.8 per cent a year ago, according to Mumbai-headquartered ICICI Bank Global Market Research.
