What moved the market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day was all about a risk-on reversal<\/strong>. The market opened under pressure due to elevated crude and geopolitical stress, but sentiment improved sharply after reports of a possible US-Iran ceasefire framework<\/strong>, which helped cool immediate fears around the Strait of Hormuz and stabilized risk appetite. That triggered strong buying in banking<\/strong> and selective IT<\/strong> names. A firmer rupee<\/strong> also helped sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second supporting factor was that crude, while still elevated, eased from the most stressful levels intraday as peace hopes improved. At the same time, broader Asian sentiment was constructive in the markets that were open, which supported the afternoon recovery in Indian equities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global cues remain mixed, but less hostile than they looked at the open. Asia was mostly positive where markets were open, while oil stayed elevated near the $109\u2013111\/bbl<\/strong> zone, keeping inflation and current-account worries alive for India. The main overnight variable remains the Middle East situation: if ceasefire optimism holds, risk assets can extend relief; if tensions flare again, oil-sensitive sectors may come under renewed pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stocks to watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the next session, watch HDFC Bank, Granules India, J Kumar Infraprojects, GR Infraprojects, Adani Power, JK Lakshmi Cement, Vikran Engineering, Prestige Estates Projects, Bajaj Auto, ONGC, Reliance, Trent, Axis Bank, Titan, and Shriram Finance<\/strong>. The first group is driven by fresh business and corporate triggers; the second group by strong price action or sector sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corporate updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Key actionable updates included HDFC Bank\u2019s Q4 business growth<\/strong>, with average advances under management up 10% YoY<\/strong> and gross advances up 12% YoY<\/strong>; Granules India<\/strong> disclosed a US FDA audit at Chantilly with four Form 483 observations<\/strong>; J Kumar Infraprojects<\/strong> won a Rs 1,184 crore<\/strong> convention-centre EPC contract; GR Infraprojects<\/strong> signed a Rs 1,897.51 crore<\/strong> railway EPC agreement; Adani Power<\/strong> received an LoA for 2,500 MW RE RTC power supply<\/strong> for 25 years<\/strong> from MSEDCL; JK Lakshmi Cement<\/strong> was declared preferred bidder for a limestone block; Vikran Engineering<\/strong> secured Rs 530.8 crore<\/strong> of LoAs; and Prestige Estates<\/strong> launched a Hyderabad township project with GDV of Rs 9,500 crore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical levels for 7 April 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Nifty 50<\/strong>, the immediate hurdle is 23,000<\/strong>. A sustained move above that can open 23,200<\/strong>, then 23,400\u201323,500<\/strong>. Immediate supports are at 22,700<\/strong> and 22,500<\/strong>. Weekly options positioning suggests a broader operating range of 22,500\u201323,500<\/strong>. India VIX remaining above 25<\/strong> means follow-through could still be uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Bank Nifty<\/strong>, the immediate hurdle is 53,000\u201353,100<\/strong>. A sustained break above 53,100<\/strong> can open 53,600<\/strong> and then 54,100<\/strong>. On the downside, 52,100\u201352,000<\/strong> is the key support zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook for tomorrow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The near-term tone has improved from panic to cautiously bullish<\/strong>, but it is still a relief-rally market<\/strong>, not yet a fully clean trend reversal. If Nifty holds above 22,700<\/strong> and especially reclaims 23,000 decisively<\/strong>, the rebound can extend into banks, financials, autos, and select domestic cyclicals. If crude spikes again or geopolitical headlines worsen, expect renewed pressure on oil-linked names<\/strong>, with defensives and exporters relatively better placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected market tone for 7 April 2026:<\/strong> cautiously positive with high volatility<\/strong>.
Bias stays constructive above 22,700<\/strong>, and turns stronger only on a sustained move above 23,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
