Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Yesterday, the Indian market struggled to absorb the optimism generated by the good union budget due to heightened geopolitical risks stemming from ‘Trump tariff war’. However, India could outperform in a weak global market, and as a rebound has been triggered in the global sentiment, it has fuelled a sharp surge in domestic equities. While overall market sentiment remains positive, large-cap stocks are the preferred choice. Meanwhile, banking stocks are rallying in anticipation of a rate cut in this week's RBI policy, new governor's first meet.
