Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Domestic market to be volatile due to elevated US bond yields
The domestic market continues to be volatile on account of elevated US bond yields, strengthening dollar, and increasing FIIs outflows. Global markets are cautious ahead of the US December CPI inflation data, which is anticipated to be in the elevated range in the short-term, limiting FED’s ability to cut rates. Also, a rise in oil prices & dollar appreciation is likely to affect domestic inflation in the near future.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Market sentiment to stay positive as long as it stays above 23,000
Another day of choppy trades was witnessed as the market lacked direction. However, sentiment is likely to favor a recovery in the short term, with the potential to reach 23,400 on the higher end.
