Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Market to see largely stock-specific action today with limited index-level moves'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "The range-bound consolidation construct of the market is set to continue. The bull run in the US is continuing unabated with Nasdaq setting a new record and closing above 20,000 yesterday. The Magnificent Seven stocks continue their resilience and uptrend despite elevated valuations. The strength of the mother market, which indicates that the global market rally is intact, is a support for other markets, too.

Even though the US CPI inflation in November at 2.7 per cent has come a bit above the October numbers, this was on expected lines and, therefore, the expectation of a 25bp rate cut by the Fed is intact. In India, the November CPI numbers to be released today will be keenly watched. Market action today will be largely stock-specific with limited moves at the index level."
