Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market traded within a narrow range on the monthly expiry day, as investors exercised caution ahead of the RBI’s policy. The market made an attempt to stabilize after last week’s sustained decline. Sectoral performance was mixed, with gains observed in metal and banking stocks, while realty and consumer durables faced selling pressure. Market participants are keenly awaiting the RBI’s commentary for insights into future interest rate trajectories, although a status quo on rates is widely expected. The near-term market outlook remains cautious, with price action likely to stay range-bound. Key developments, particularly regarding tariff policies and the upcoming earnings season, will be crucial in shaping the market’s trajectory beyond the current range.
