The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Union government to constitute a committee to examine the regulation of pharmaceutical marketing practices and submit recommendations on measures needed to address concerns over unethical interactions between drugmakers and doctors.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Nifty 50 May Face Resistance At 22,750–22,800 Zone
Nifty 50 remains under pressure, with selling pressure emerging at higher levels and the broader technical structure continuing to indicate weakness.
“On the upside, the 22,750–22,800 zone is likely to act as the immediate resistance area. A sustained move above 22,800 could provide some stability and support a recovery toward the 23,000 region.

The broader setup is likely to remain cautious as long as the Nifty trades below 22,800, while subdued momentum and recent price action continue to signal weakness. Overall, the near-term technical outlook remains cautious, he added.
