Stock Market LIVE Updates: '23,800 zone remains an important near-term support'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technically, the Nifty continues to face a hurdle on the rebound, indicating weakening near-term structure. The 23,800 zone remains an important near-term support, and a decisive break below this level could reopen the downside towards the 23,700–23,600 zone. On the upside, the 24,000–24,150 region is likely to act as the resistance zone. Given the prevailing combination of elevated crude prices, geopolitical uncertainty and weak market momentum, we recommend maintaining a cautious, stock-specific approach with a strong focus on risk management.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Market's recovery attempt lost steam'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The market's recovery attempt lost steam as supportive global cues and renewed FII inflows collided with lingering geopolitical tensions & elevated global yields. Banking and realty stocks provided leadership, while small-caps attracted investor interest, reflecting confidence in domestic growth prospects. Stubbornly high crude oil prices continue to act as key overhangs for the domestic market. While India's strong growth momentum and recent sovereign rating upgrade remain powerful structural positives, near-term market direction will largely depend on the evolution of global macro and geopolitical risks.
