Market sentiment remains cautious as modest Q3 FY25 earnings growth and sustained FII selling pressure continue to impact near-term market dynamics. The weakening rupee and widening trade deficit have added to investor concerns. While broader indices have seen significant corrections, valuations remain elevated. However, potential easing of US trade tensions and early indicators of discretionary spending recovery could support market stability.
