Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research—Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect the Indian stock market to remain volatile due to ongoing global trade tension and potential further developments on the US tariff front."

On the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The underlying trend of the Nifty 50 index is sharply negative with high volatility. Monday's swing low of 21,743 could now be considered important support for the short term, and one may expect buying to emerge from the lower levels. Immediate resistance for the Nifty today is placed at 22,400."

Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP —Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, “The Bank Nifty index defended the 50-Day Exponential Moving Average (50-DEMA) support placed around 49,500 and formed a green candle on the daily chart, indicating strength at lower levels. On the upside, the 50,650 to 50,750 zone will act as a key resistance area. A sustained move above 50,750 will trigger a fresh rally in the index.”
