Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
The Indian equity market remained largely range-bound as investors awaited definitive progress on the India–U.S. trade agreement, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, adding that “while sentiment remains cautiously optimistic about a potential deal, the lack of formal confirmation has restrained fresh buying activity.””Moreover, the U.S. decision to extend the deadline for implementing 25% tariffs on key trading partners has led investors to adopt a more defensive approach. As the Q1FY26 earnings season approaches, market focus is expected to shift toward corporate performance and management commentary, which will likely guide future market momentum,” said Nair.
