Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The markets return to the bourse after yet another exciting week, following a tumultuous period of trade last week. The bulls will have their eyes set on the movements on Dalal Street after the end of the Q3 earnings season.
Beyond the handful of earnings reactions, the Nifty index will look to protect the hugely pertinent 25,000 mark after the index shed over 200 points. All of it after coming close to reclaiming the 26,000 mark.
The Nifty Bank, which has been the relative outlier in the previous, gave up its bulwark on Friday, after a near 1% fall.
The focus will once again be on the IT pack, after the Nifty IT index turned out to be the biggest laggard amongst sectoral indices, dragging the 50-stock index down with it.
The larger market, including the small-cap and mid-cap indices, all closed in red with cuts.
After expiry day troubles, this is going to be yet another test for the Indian indices after a major sell-off at Wall Street as fears of AI disruption once again ravaged the markets.
Some names that will be in focus include Manappuram Finance, Religare, EaseMyTrip, Fortis, Ola Electric, GMR Airport, Aurobindo Pharma, among others.
