tock Market Today | Share Market Live Updates – Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 18 March 2026
GIFT Nifty futures were trading at 23,655.5 as of 08:25 a.m. IST, indicating the Nifty 50 will open a tad above Tuesday’s close of 23,581.15.
The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex have climbed about 2 per cent so far this week, clawing back some of the steep losses from their worst week in years, when both indices confirmed a technical correction.
The bounce points to bargain buying after last week’s rout, but analysts expect markets to remain range-bound until there is greater clarity on the West Asia conflict and its implications for oil prices, inflation and corporate earnings.
“The near-term outlook suggests a range-bound market with a cautious bias, where global cues, crude oil movements and currency trends will remain the key drivers,” said Hariprasad K, analyst and founder at Livelong Wealth.
Investors are also awaiting commentary from the US Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to hold rates when it announces its decision later in the day, as oil-driven inflation concerns push rate cut bets further out this year.
Meanwhile, momentum indicators suggest that the market is finding a floor, with the relative strength index – a gauge of recent buying and selling pressure – recovering from oversold levels. (Reuters)
