Stock Market Today Live Updates, March 25, 2026: Dalal Street Surges – Sensex Up 1,100 Points, Nifty Crosses 23,250

Nifty 50, Sensex | Stock Market Highlights: After a steep sell-off earlier in the week that erased nearly ₹15 lakh crore in market capitalization, Indian equities staged a strong rebound on weekly expiry. The Sensex closed 1,205 points higher while Nifty was above 23,300.

The recovery was led by financial stocks, with the Bank Nifty rallying over 1,000 points toward the 52,900 mark. However, the broader market direction continues to hinge on HDFC Bank, where investor sentiment remains cautious and could influence near-term trends.

Despite the bounce, underlying risks remain intact. Crude oil prices are still elevated amid persistent geopolitical tensions, while currency fluctuations are emerging as another key variable for investors to monitor.

On the technical front, the 23,000 level remains a critical hurdle for the Nifty. The 23,200–23,300 zone continues to act as a strong resistance band, capping upside in recent sessions. With volatility still elevated, global cues—particularly movements in oil prices—are likely to dictate the market’s near-term trajectory.
