BSE:544081 10 December 2025

March 22, 2026, 11:22 AM EDT. Indian benchmark indexes ended the week mixed amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The Sensex closed at 74,532.96, up 0.44%, while Nifty settled at 23,114.50, gaining 0.49%. Persistent rupee weakness, with USD-INR hitting a record 93.71, dampened investor sentiment. Sector performance was mixed; telecom, IT, metals, pharma, and PSU banks gained 1-2%, whereas media, private banks, and realty declined. Chart patterns suggest bearish bias for Nifty and Bank Nifty, signaling potential further downside if key supports at 23,000 and 53,240 are breached. Elevated volatility is expected amid ongoing global uncertainty and geopolitical risks, with immediate resistance levels placing pressure on near-term market direction.
