Stock Market Today LIVE: According to Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, the Nifty 50 appears to be in a consolidation phase without big moves at the index level.

However, there are big changes within the Nifty 50 stocks with big declines in IT stocks consequent to the IT sell off in the US spreading to India, too.

The sell off has been triggered by Anthropic’s new automation tools that the market fears may replace IT services that are presently outsourced. The market fears significant margin pressure for Indian IT companies. What the real impact will be remains to be seen.

If the cessation of selling and marginal buying by FIIs becomes a trend, the market will gain strength. This is the data point to watch for

Stock Market Today LIVE: Key market themes to look for

Concerns about AI disruption have negatively impacted sentiment: Software stocks faced pressure as worries grew that the swift adoption of AI could threaten traditional business models. Anthropic’s expansion of its AI assistant into areas like legal, sales, and data analysis has heightened anxieties about potential industry-wide upheaval.

Attention shifts to Big Tech earnings: Alphabet is set to report on Wednesday and Amazon on Thursday, with anticipated revenue growth exceeding 15% and 13% respectively. Together, these two companies make up almost 20% of the Nasdaq 100, suggesting that solid earnings could drive a rally towards 26,000.

Commodities make a comeback: Gold and silver have recovered despite the massive $15 trillion market selloff last week. With underlying factors still favorable, revisiting record highs might be a matter of when rather than if.

Bitcoin facing a turning point: Bitcoin continues to hover below $77,500. Ongoing weakness could lead to a drop to $70,000, while moving above $80,000 might aim for $88,200.
