Sensex Nifty Today | Stock Market Live Updates: The Indian domestic indices, Sensex and Nifty, started the Monday trading session on a positive note, with both benchmarks trading in the green. Asian markets are also trading higher, with key indices in Japan and South Korea opening on a positive note.
Key things to watch out –
Gold prices: Gold prices held strong after crossing the $3,000 mark for the first time last week. This was the 13th record high this year as investors turned to the metal as a safe-haven asset. Growing trade war tensions and new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have fuelled market uncertainty.
US Markets bounce back: Wall Street saw a strong rebound on Friday after a weak start to the week. The Dow Jones jumped over 670 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq surged more than 2%.
Fed meeting in focus: The US Federal Reserve is set to kick off its two-day FOMC meeting on March 18. The central bank is expected to hold interest rates steady after cutting them by 100 basis points since last September. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has cautioned that rising tariffs could make inflation harder to control. The policy decision will be announced on March 19.
Crude Oil rises amid tensions: Oil prices climbed over 1% after the US vowed to continue strikes against Yemen’s Houthis. The Iran-backed group has been targeting shipping routes, raising supply concerns. Brent crude and WTI crude both gained over a dollar per barrel.

Share market today live updates: Markets Technical outlook
“Technically, the market is exhibiting non-directional activity; on the lower side, it is consistently finding support near 22300/73300, while profit booking has been witnessed between 22600/74700 and 22650/74900. We believe that the current market texture is non-directional, and traders may be awaiting a breakout in either direction. For the bulls, the key breakout zone is at 22650/74900. A dismissal of the 22650/74900 breakout could push the market towards 22800-22900/75500-75800. Conversely, if the market falls below 22300/73300, selling pressure is likely to accelerate. Below this level, the market could retest levels of 22100-22000/72700-72400,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
