Market Insight: Is This Relief Rally a Signal of Strength or Just a Pause Before More Volatility?— 24 March 2026

News-24 March 2026

Indian equities staged a powerful rebound on Tuesday after Monday’s war‑driven selloff. The Sensex surged 1,372 points to 74,068.45 and the Nifty 50 jumped 399.75 points to 22,912.40, helped by easing geopolitical tensions, sharp cooling in crude oil, and broad‑based buying across banking, auto, IT, and mid‑small caps. Markets opened gap‑up and sustained strength through the day as global cues turned supportive and the rupee stabilized from Monday’s record lows.
