Stock Market LIVE: Nifty Sees Immediate Resistance At 25,500–25,600
The NSE Nifty 50 ended lower for the second straight session on Monday with investor sentiment cautious amid concerns over currency depreciation, foreign institutional investor outflows, and global policy uncertainties, according to analysts.
The benchmark, which closed 0.13% lower at 25,169.50, formed a second consecutive high wave candle with a lower high and lower low in the daily chart, Bajaj Broking said. "The Nifty on expected lines is seen consolidating in a range for the third session in a row. We expect it to extend the same and trade in the range of 25,500–25,000 in the coming sessions."
Stock Market Today| Experts' View: Investors Remain Cautious On External Volatility
"Investor sentiment in the domestic market remains underpinned by an expected pickup in growth supported by tax reforms and the recent GST cut that are set to fuel consumption. However, persistent foreign fund outflows, a record-weak rupee at 88.78/USD, and stretched valuations are keeping investor sentiment cautious. Adding to the volatility are global headwinds—from U.S. tariff threats to visa fee hikes, which are putting additional pressure on the IT stocks and other export linked sectors."Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money
"A sustained move above 25,100 could spark a rebound towards 25,300–25,350, while failure to hold 25,080 may drag the index lower to 25,000–24,950. With GIFT Nifty pointing to a flat start, the market tone remains delicately balanced—slightly bullish above 25,100, but vulnerable if 25,080 is breached."Hariprasad K, Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth
Expert's View On Rupee: RBI Appears To Allow Weakening
"The RBI appears to be allowing gradual weakening of the rupee, intervening selectively to smooth volatility rather than attempting to defend a fixed level. The Indian rupee dropped to new record lows today, trading around 88.80 as multiple external pressures converged. Despite the depreciation, implied volatility in options markets remains relatively modest, suggesting that investor behavior is cautious but not panicked."Abhishek Goenka, Founder & CEO, IFA Global.
"The Indian rupee fell to record lows of 88.80 as tariff issues and US H-1B visa fees issues continued to rattle the Indian markets with FPIs taking money off the markets continuously sighting that Indian exports will get severely affected by the twin issues. The RBI was conspicuous by its absence in the fall of rupee probably trying to help exporters to some extent to mitigate the after effects of the tariffs on the Indian exports. The Rupee has been at record lows against the three major currencies it trades in mainly viz dollar, pound and the Euro."Anil Kumar Bhansali, Treasury Head At Finrex
