Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Ongoing Q2 earnings to drive market sentiment

The domestic market is trying to show some signs of a recovery from the recent lows as the Diwali festival approaches. A notable decline in crude oil prices is bolstering market sentiment, though it also indicates a potential slowdown in global demand.

Currently, stock-specific action related to ongoing Q2 earnings, which is largely weak, is expected to drive the market sentiment in the near term. PSU Banks have rebounded from recent corrections, driven by positive initial earnings reports, while auto stocks declined due to disappointing results.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Investors covered short positions in beaten down banking stocks

Although markets were a bit volatile in early trades, key benchmark indices recouped losses to end firm for the second straight session as investors covered short positions in the beaten down banking stocks ahead of monthly F&O expiry on Thursday.

Banking stocks led the revival with SBI emerging as the top performer, while recovery in realty stocks too aided the optimism despite weakness in automobile, IT and telecom stocks. To sustain the recovery in domestic markets, FII outflows need to stop as relentless offloading by the overseas investors has hit the investors' sentiment.
