Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates:&nbsp;The Indian market demonstrated optimism following the recent sell-off. The lower-than-expected US PCE print bolstered investor sentiment in interest rate-sensitive sectors. Broad-based buying was observed, with the metals sector notably benefiting from the anticipated increase in steel import taxes. Despite the positive market sentiment, the short-term outlook is expected to remain sideways due to a lack of new catalysts and the impact of the festive season and holidays.<br />

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Outperformance of US markets driving change in FII strategy

<div>
	The FII buying witnessed in early December completely reversed last week with FII selling of Rs 15826 crores. The outperformance of the US (S&amp;P 500 up 25 per cent YTD) and the relative underperformance of India (Nifty up 14.64 per cent YTD) are driving this change in FII strategy. The strength of the US economy, robust US corporate earnings, expectation of corporate tax cut by President Trump soon after assuming office and the steady appreciation in US dollar are factors favourable to the US market.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Slowdown in Q2 GDP growth and stagnation in corporate earnings in India have soured the domestic market sentiments.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	In the short run there will be market rebounds which may be followed by renewed FII selling. A sustained rally is possible only when we have indications of a growth revival in the economy. This is likely in early 2025.<br />
