Sensex, Nifty Performance On March 24, 2026:

After recording its one of the worst single-day performance, Sensex and Nifty witnessed a sharp rebound on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. At the time of writing, Sensex traded near 73,700 and Nifty 50 performed above 22,810 levels. Both the benchmarks traded higher by 1.3% to 1.5%. All indices have seen strong buying sentiment. While India's volatility index has plunged by 5-6%.

Stock Market Outlook Ahead:

As per Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, politics s turning out to be as volatile as the market. President Trump signalled a 5-day halt to attacks on Iran and talked about 'productive' talks with the Iranian leadership. Immediately Iran's foreign ministry denied this. Later they acknowledged that there are attempts to 'get diplomacy going' through the mediation of some countries. Brent crude crashed by 10% to $100 levels on news of positive initiatives to end the hostilities.

"The market, it appears, is factoring in an end to the war as reflected in the August US oil futures trading at $80. However, in the near-term there will be excessive volatility in response to news regarding the war and events on the war front," Vijayakumar said.

Furthermore, he added that a major drag on the market now is the huge selling by FIIs despite the sharp correction in the market. The continuing weakness in the rupee is the main factor behind this sustained selling by FIIs. Therefore, if some sort of stability is to emerge in the market, rupee should stabilize first.

Notably, IT and pharmaceutical segments are likely to remain resilient assisted by rupee depreciation.

Ram Navami 2026:

Ram Navami, the day when Lord Rama appeared in his human and divine form, is celebrated with great reverence and festivities all over India, but especially in the sacred city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. Leading up to Ram Navami, Hindus observe the 9-day fast during the Chaitra Navaratri, as per Utsav website.
