As of 2 pm, the Sensex stood at 80,808.05, up 540.43 points or 0.67%, while the Nifty rose 177.40 points or 0.72% to 24,788.50.
Indian stock market pulled back mildly after RBI decided to keep key interest rates unchanged for the second time. Repo rate stays steady at 5.5%. Sensex now hovered around 80,430 after hitting an intraday high of 80,525.46. Nifty 50 floated around 24,650 after touching the day's high of 24,694.05.
Bank Nifty traded at 54,906, up by 285 points. Stocks like Kotak Bank, Sun Pharma, Tata Motors, and ICICI Bank were top bulls of the day.
"While RBI is likely to hold rates steady, the central bank governor's statement on inflation, growth and US tariff impact going ahead will be keenly watched by the market. The fast declining rupee against the dollar in the wake of growing trade tensions and the sharp FII outflows has made investors jittery about taking equity bets," said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.
The Indian benchmark indices closed in red for the eighth consecutive session on Tuesday amid geopolitical uncertainty and stock market volatility.

Stock Market Live Updates: RBI Policy Impact On Stocks?
Rajeev Radhakrishnan, CFA, CIO - Fixed Income, SBI Mutual Fund: A more balanced forward guidance that acknowledges downside risks to growth, along with a downward revision in future CPI projections, has clearly opened up additional policy space. Furthermore, regulatory measures aimed at enhancing the flow of bank credit to various segments of the economy have been announced. However, the absence of specific steps to improve the transmission of policy easing into markets and the broader economy remains a dampener.

Stock Market Live Updates: Will RBI Cut Rates In December?
Vikram Chhabra, Senior Economist, 360 ONE Asset: The latest RBI policy decision was a hard call to make. Q1 GDP growth exceeded expectations, though part of the upside came from a statistical boost due to low inflation. Underlying momentum remains weak, with volume indicators muted, though some support is likely from recent GST reductions. On the inflation front, the surprise has been on the downside, and further moderation is expected as GST cuts filter through, even if the one-off nature of the price impact should be discounted. Against this backdrop of lingering economic uncertainty, the RBI has opted for a dovish pause in this meeting, indicating that policy space has opened up to support growth further. Accordingly, we expect additional monetary easing, with a 25-bps rate cut likely in the next policy meeting.

Stock Market Live Updates: What Should Traders Do Today?
On the daily chart, the index has formed a strong bearish-bodied candle with a minor upper and lower wick, reflecting selling pressure at higher levels. Globally, markets traded on a positive note, but Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to remain net sellers, highlighting weakness in broader sentiment. On the downside, immediate support is placed near 24,550, followed by strong support at 24,450. A breach below this zone could invite extended selling pressure. On the upside, resistance is seen around 24,650, while a stronger hurdle lies at 24,750. Sustaining above these levels is essential for a pause in selling pressure, while fresh buying interest is likely to emerge only if the index decisively sustains above the 25,000 mark. Until then, the trend remains “sell on rise.” Traders are advised to stay cautious and maintain strict stop-losses to effectively manage risk amid heightened volatility, as per Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking.

Stock Market Live Updates: Support & Resistance For Sensex & Nifty
Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities: We believe that the intraday market texture is non-directional; perhaps traders are waiting for an either-side breakout. On the higher side, 24,800/80800 would act as an immediate breakout zone for the bulls. Above this, the pullback move could continue till 24,900-24,950/81000-81300. On the flip side, below 24,550/80000, selling pressure is likely to accelerate. Below this level, the market could slip to 24,450-24,400/79800-79500.
