Expert on Stock Market
Analysts say that recent market movements have shown no clear trend or direction, and a few large-cap stocks have had a disproportionate impact on the market. They noted that despite positive buying by institutional investors, the Nifty fell by 71 points yesterday due to sharp declines in two stocks. Significant market volatility is expected in the coming days due to various events and news, with tweets or actions by US President Donald Trump playing a crucial role.
Investors are also closely watching the US Supreme Court’s decision on the tariffs imposed by Trump. Market experts say that if the ruling goes against reciprocal tariffs, it will lead to significant fluctuations in the stock markets.

Asian markets saw mixed trading, with defence stocks pulling back after two consecutive days of gains. Investors weighed geopolitical risks following the US sanctions on Venezuela and renewed rhetoric regarding Greenland. In Asian markets, China’s Shanghai Composite index rose 0.29 percent and the Shenzhen Composite index gained 0.35 percent, while Japan’s Nikkei index fell 0.64 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dropped 1.01 percent.
