Stocks to Watch: Tata Steel, Kotak Bank, TVS Motor Among 10 Shares in Focus Today

Indian Stock Market Report

The Indian stock market is expected to open on a positive note on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, following a rally in global markets amid reports of potential peace talks between the US and Iran. The GIFT Nifty is trading near the 23,120 level, indicating a premium of about 192 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.

The market is expected to open cautiously positive, supported by improving global sentiment. The sharp correction in crude oil prices, with Brent crude slipping below the $100 per barrel mark, is providing meaningful relief to inflation expectations, current account pressures, and the broader macroeconomic outlook. This has supported short-term market sentiment.

On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the Indian stock market closed sharply higher amid signs of easing tensions in the US-Iran conflict. The Nifty 50 finished above the 22,900 mark, with the Sensex jumping 1,372.06 points, or 1.89%, to settle at 74,068.45, and the Nifty 50 advancing 399.75 points, or 1.78%, to close at 22,912.40.
