“The national market reacted with volatility to the ongoing developments in global trade tariffs, reflecting caution following the extension of the U.S.–China tariff truce and ahead of key inflation data due later today. The US inflation figures with any signs of tariff-related impact could influence the Fed’s policy stance. Meanwhile, domestic inflation is expected to continue below the RBI’s range. Sector-wise, healthcare and automobile stocks posted gains, while financials and real estate weighed on the index. In the near term, stock-specific movements are likely to persist with investors’ attention focused on domestic consumption-led sectors to beat volatility.”
