Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert's view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: "Indian equities closed higher after a mixed start to the session, buoyed by expectations of a consumption-led stimulus from the potential GST slab rationalization. All categories of consumer-based sectors, like discretionary, durable and staples, continued to outperform. Meanwhile, gold extended its rally in the global market to fresh highs, reflecting investor caution amid persistent concerns over prolonged US tariffs and their potential impact on global growth and geopolitical changes. In the near term, market sentiment hinges on the outcome of the GST Council meeting with traction on consumption-oriented stocks and sectors. Well, the expectations are very high, increasing the risk of disappointments, which can kickstart consolidation again."
