Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The February F&O series ends for the Nifty 50 on Tuesday. The last two days of the series may bring volatility associated with it. For today's session, though, it will be banks that will be the centre of action.
The Nifty Bank, though, will be the index to watch, as IDFC First Bank, AU Small Finance Bank, and Axis Bank will be in the thick of things Today.
As for Nifty, it has been stuck in this 25,500 - 26,000 range for a better part of the last two weeks, barring the sell-off last Thursday, which resulted in a low of 25,388.
The banking index has been led higher by the state-run lenders, with the PSU Bank index gaining 5.5% last week. Follow-up buying will be eyed by the street in these lenders, which gained between 6% to 9% individually last week.
The market also reacts to the Trump tariff uncertainties, with the Supreme Court striking them down on Friday and Trump responding by saying there's more to come, first with a 10% levy, which increased to 15% by Saturday. That puts exporters in focus yet again, along with names like UPL, Vikram Solar, and others.
