Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities continued to consolidate as the rupee slid to a record low, weighed down by FII outflows and ongoing trade uncertainties. Industrial activity moderated in November, with the manufacturing PMI indicating slow new orders, softer export demand, and a spike in the trade deficit.
Global markets were mixed as investors are assessing ahead the Fed & ECB monetary policy and currency volatility, while sentiment remained cautious after a jump in Japanese bond yields on expectations of BOJ tightening and increased government spending. The RBI’s policy decision this week will be crucial, especially for banks, as rate cut probability has reduced post the strong Q2 GDP data.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty 50 slipped below the psychological 26,000 mark today and remained confined within a tight consolidation range of 25,875–25,950. Early selling pressure pulled the index lower, but steady buying interest near the lower support zone restricted further downside. In the final hour, Nifty once again attempted to reclaim 26,000, but persistent supply at this level capped the recovery, resulting in a close below this key resistance.
The index has now logged five consecutive lower closes, indicating short-term weakness. The formation of lower highs and lower lows continues to reflect selling pressure on intraday pullbacks. For any meaningful recovery and a potential move toward the 26,300 zone, Nifty must decisively reclaim and sustain above 26,100. Until then, the market remains in a corrective and consolidation phase.
