Stock Market Outlook: Recommendations for 6 April 2026

Indian Stock Market Volatility Continues Amid Geopolitical Tensions

The Indian stock market witnessed high volatility during the shortened week of March 30 to April 2, impacted by geopolitical tensions, rising crude oil prices, a weakening rupee, and continued FII outflows. The market ended the fiscal year 2026 (FY26) on a weak note, with the Sensex falling 1,635 points (2.22%) and the Nifty dropping 2.14%, led by broad-based selling across sectors.

The new fiscal year (FY27) began on a strong rebound, supported by global cues and hopes of de-escalation in the US-Iran war, with the Sensex gaining 1.65% and the Nifty rising 1.56%, led by banking, IT, and auto stocks. However, gains were partially reversed on April 2 as uncertainty resurfaced following US remarks on the conflict, dragging indices lower again.

Overall, the week highlighted fragile sentiment, with geopolitical and oil-related risks continuing to dominate market direction despite intermittent recovery.

Market Outlook Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, believes the complete filling of the initial gap-down by the key benchmark indices of the Indian stock market indicates sustained demand at lower levels. The Nifty 50 index is facing hurdles at 22,800 and 23,000, respectively, while it has found support at 22,600 to 22,500 levels.

The volatility index, India VIX, rose by 2.04% to close at 25.52, indicating a mild increase in market volatility. Notable call writing was observed at the 22,800 strike, followed by the 23,000 strike, while significant writing activity was seen at the 22,500 and 22,600 strike levels, highlighting key support zones.

Stock Recommendations Sumeet Bagadia recommended the following three buy-or-sell stocks:
