Stock market today: Nifty50 and BSE Sensex, the Indian equity benchmark indices, opened in green on Friday. While Nifty50 was above 25,400, BSE Sensex was up over 50 points. At 9:19 AM, Nifty50 was trading at 25,413.90, up 9 points or 0.034%. BSE Sensex was at 83,302.76, up 63 points or 0.076%.Market analysts anticipate continued consolidation, suggesting investors will likely maintain a cautious stance as they monitor ongoing trade talks and upcoming US economic indicators.VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, “There are no triggers to break the 25200-25800 Nifty range immediately. Even while trading within this range the market is resilient. This resilience is supported externally by the strength of the mother market US where S&P 500 and Nasdaq are at record highs and domestically by the strong and sustained flows into the market, which has made DIIs sustained buyers in the market.The cap to the upside of the range is put by the tepid earnings growth and expectations of modest earnings growth in FY26. Investors should watch for possible changes in the earnings growth trajectory, the indications of which will be available in the Q1 results, which will start coming soon. Outperformances in results are likely to be company-specific rather than sector-specific. For instance autos are likely to report modest numbers, but TVS, Eicher and M&M can deliver better than industry numbers. Similarly in financials Bajaj Finance and Sriram Finance may outperform. Therefore, market action is likely to be stock-specific.”US stock indices reached new highs on Thursday, driven by Nvidia’s approach towards $4 trillion valuation and robust US employment data. Investors remained bullish despite reduced likelihood of a US interest rate reduction in the following month.Asian equities moved within narrow bounds on Friday, as heightened trade concerns before the upcoming tariff deadline overshadowed the continuing record gains in US markets.Gold remained stable on Friday, set for weekly gains after US Congress approved President Donald Trump’s tax reduction and expenditure legislation, despite robust US employment data limiting price advances.Oil prices remained stable on Friday, supported by strong employment figures strengthening the case for US Federal Reserve’s interest rate pause, whilst markets await clarity on President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.FII net short positions in futures market expanded from Rs 49,221 crore on Wednesday to Rs 61,807 crore on Thursday.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market and other asset classes given by experts are their own.
