Sensex Surges 800 Points as Nifty Crosses 23,200 Amid IT Rally and Oil Price Drop
March 20, 2026, 12:43 AM EDT. The S&P BSE Sensex rose sharply by 808 points to 75,015.53 while the NSE Nifty50 climbed 257 points to 23,259.60 early Friday. IT stocks rallied, buoyed by easing crude oil prices following comments from Israel's Prime Minister about reduced conflict risks. Brent crude slipped to $106 per barrel from $118. Market sentiment swung between hope and fear after a sharp 775-point drop in Nifty yesterday, driven by turmoil in financials and auto sectors. Analysts said the downturn was influenced by concerns over HDFC affecting Nifty Bank but expect a near-term rebound as hopes for de-escalation of Middle East tensions restore confidence.
