  • Stock Market Today: Gift Nifty Surges Amid US-Iran De-escalation, Mixed Commodity Trends
    March 23, 2026, 11:06 PM EDT. On Tuesday, the Indian stock market is poised for a strong gap-up opening as Gift Nifty futures jumped nearly 500 points, reflecting investor optimism amid signs of de-escalation in the US-Iran conflict. Monday saw a sharp 2.5% drop in the Nifty 50, with banking, metals, and realty sectors hit hard, and broader markets facing steeper falls indicating strong risk aversion. Asian markets also opened higher, supported by retreating crude oil prices easing inflation worries. However, geopolitical uncertainty persists with conflicting statements from US and Iranian officials. Meanwhile, precious metals dipped, with COMEX gold and silver prices falling over 1% and 2.5%, respectively. The volatile scenario keeps India VIX, a market volatility gauge, under watch as traders track further developments.
