Stock Market Close: Sensex declines 456 pts, Nifty at 24,571 as West Asia tension weighs | Markets News

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market sentiment remains measured as the absence of a definitive geopolitical resolution in the Middle East continues to keep crude oil prices volatile. Meanwhile, gold has strengthened on renewed safe-haven demand and a softer US dollar, with investors closely tracking the upcoming U.S. non-farm payrolls data for further clarity on the Fed’s policy trajectory. Domestically, earnings from several industry bellwethers have been in line with or ahead of expectations, providing a constructive backdrop for sector-specific optimism and investment opportunities. Notably, SBI’s strong performance, underpinned by healthy credit growth, improving asset quality and resilient margins, has reinforced confidence in the banking and PSU banking segments, offering an important pillar of support to the broader market outlook

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Going forward, the 24,750-24,780 zone will remain a crucial hurdle for the Nifty. A sustained breakout above 24,780 could pave the way for a further upmove towards 24,900, followed by the 25,050 level. On the downside, the 24,500-24,480 zone is expected to provide immediate support.
