Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The dip in the index reflects caution among participants despite easing geopolitical tensions and stable global cues. However, we expect the overall tone to remain positive, given the noticeable support in the 24,400–24,600 zone. The focus should remain on identifying key sectors and themes showing relative strength and using intermediate pauses to accumulate quality stocks.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The domestic market witnessed profit booking today, following yesterday's sharp rally. The relief-driven surge—fuelled by easing global and domestic risks, including a reduction in trade war tensions and Indo-Pak geopolitical stress—appears to be taking a breather. This consolidation is primarily affecting large-cap stocks, while mid- and small-cap segments continue to gain traction.
This divergence is expected to persist, supported by broad-based earnings improvements reflected in Q4 results so far. Looking ahead, there is increasing optimism around FY26 earnings growth, underpinned by supportive fiscal and monetary policies, a rebound in external demand, a favorable monsoon outlook, and declining inflation and interest rates. These factors collectively suggest that midcaps are well-positioned to catch up and potentially outperform in the coming quarters.

9 of top 10 most valued firms add Rs 1 lakh crore in market cap this week

The Indian stock market witnessed strong positive momentum this week, helping nine of the country's ten most valued companies collectively add Rs 1,00,850.96 crore to their market capitalisation. This rally came as the benchmark Sensex rose by 737.98 points, or 0.90 per cent, reflecting overall optimism in equities. Among the top gainers, HDFC Bank recorded a sharp rise in market valuation, adding Rs 26,668.23 crore. With this, the private sector lender's total market capitalisation reached Rs 15,15,853.85 crore. Bajaj Finance also posted a strong performance, gaining Rs 12,322.96 crore in valuation during the week. Its market cap now stands at Rs 5,82,469.45 crore. ICICI Bank's market valuation increased by Rs 9,790.87 crore to Rs 10,41,053.07 crore, while Hindustan Unilever added Rs 9,280.89 crore, taking its mcap to Rs 5,61,282.11 crore. Bharti Airtel saw its market valuation rise by Rs 7,127.63 crore, reaching Rs 10,65,894.55 crore. Meanwhile, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) gained Rs 3,953.12 crore, pushing its valuation to Rs 6,07,073.28 crore. Infosys recorded a smaller increase, with a gain of Rs 519.27 crore, bringing its total market capitalisation to Rs 6,49,739.73 crore. State Bank of India (SBI) also edged up, with a rise of Rs 401.61 crore, taking its mcap to Rs 7,25,437.74 crore. Among the top 10, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was the only company to see a drop in its market value. The IT giant's mcap declined by Rs 28,510.53 crore during the week, settling at Rs 12,24,975.89 crore. Despite TCS's slip, the overall market sentiment remained upbeat, with investors showing confidence across sectors. In terms of overall ranking by market capitalisation, the top five companies at the end of the week were HDFC Bank, TCS, Bharti Airtel, ICICI Bank, and SBI. Market experts believe the positive momentum was supported by expectations of steady economic growth and improved investor sentiment ahead of key economic data and global cues.
