Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Ongoing Q2 earnings to drive market sentiment
The domestic market is trying to show some signs of a recovery from the recent lows as the Diwali festival approaches. A notable decline in crude oil prices is bolstering market sentiment, though it also indicates a potential slowdown in global demand.
Currently, stock-specific action related to ongoing Q2 earnings, which is largely weak, is expected to drive the market sentiment in the near term. PSU Banks have rebounded from recent corrections, driven by positive initial earnings reports, while auto stocks declined due to disappointing results.
