Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Indian stock market closed with a modest positive bias primarily driven by domestic retail investor confidence and selective buying in key sectors despite global uncertainties. Notably, gains were seen in banking stocks like Kotak Mahindra Bank, which surged about 3.4 per cent, and infrastructure players such as Adani Ports and NTPC.

The Nifty Realty and Private Bank sectors outperformed, while IT and Oil & Gas also contributed to the upside. Conversely, sectors like auto, pharma, media, and consumer durables faced selling pressure, with Titan declining over 6 per cent due to profit booking. The market's resilience came amid cautious sentiment over the ongoing US-India trade negotiations and tariff uncertainties following recent announcements by US President Donald Trump. Investors are closely watching for clarity on a potential trade deal that could reduce tariffs and bolster export prospects.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Indian equity market remained largely range-bound as investors awaited definitive progress on the India–US trade agreement. While sentiment remains cautiously optimistic about a potential deal, the lack of formal confirmation has restrained fresh buying activity. Moreover, the U.S. decision to extend the deadline for implementing 25 per cent tariffs on key trading partners has led investors to adopt a more defensive approach. As the Q1FY26 earnings season approaches, market focus is expected to shift toward corporate performance and management commentary, which will likely guide future market momentum.
