Sensex, Nifty 50 | Stock Market LIVE: What moved market today?
Domestic equities swung between gains and losses amid mixed global cues, even as the rupee strengthened. Selective risk appetite was evident in pockets of the market, with mid and small caps outperforming large caps. Reports of a potential US–Iran agreement to gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushed crude below $100 per barrel, easing near-term inflation concerns. However, optimism faded quickly amid uncertainty around nuclear enrichment discussions, triggering profit booking. Sectorally, auto, healthcare, and financial services witnessed gains, while IT and FMCG declined. Going ahead, Q4 earnings and management guidance will remain key drivers of sentiment, though markets are likely to stay volatile until clearer signals emerge from West Asia.

Sensex, Nifty 50 | Stock Market LIVE: Bank Nifty faces crucial resistance at 56,800 – 57,000 band
Bank Nifty faces crucial resistance at 56,800 – 57,000 band, and a sustained move above this range could strengthen momentum further toward the 57,500 – 58,000 levels. On the downside, the 55,400 – 55,200 zone is expected to act as immediate support, and holding above this range will remain important to sustain the ongoing recovery trend.
Overall, the undertone remains mildly positive with a cautious bias, while sustained buying above resistance levels is required to confirm continuation of the upward momentum, said Ponmudi R.
Sensex, Nifty 50 | Stock Market LIVE: ICICI Securities raises Bajaj Auto share price target, maintains ‘Buy’ call
Bajaj Auto’s Q4FY26 operational performance surpassed ICICI Securities’ estimate. Growth in the domestic motorcycle industry is expected to moderate to ~7–9% in the near term due to price hike(s), manpower migration and weakening consumer sentiment. However, demand momentum in international markets remains robust for both two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
Outlook for domestic three-wheeler volume remains healthy led by rising EV penetration. Commodity inflation is expected to weigh on margins in the near-term. Over the medium term, margins are likely to draw support from favourable mix/forex, higher operating leverage; and improving EV profitability, ICICI Securities said.
The brokerage firm maintained a ‘Buy’ rating and raised Bajaj Auto share price target to ₹12,000 from ₹11,150 earlier, based on 25x FY28E EPS.
