Stock Market Today Highlights April 2026

1st April 2026

STOCK MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

Stock market today snapped its two-day losing streak on April 1, with benchmark indices ending higher amid signs of de-escalation in the ongoing US–Iran tensions.

The market kicked off the new financial year on a positive note, with Nifty opening gap-up at 22,900 supported by broad-based buying across sectors and the broader markets. Despite some intraday profit booking, indices managed to hold gains and closed on a strong note.

Investor sentiment improved on easing geopolitical concerns and positive global cues, leading to buying interest across sectors.

  • Sensex: 73,134.32 up 1,186.77 points (1.65%)
  • Nifty 50: 22,679.40 up 348.00 points (1.56%)
