Sensex Today | Stock Market Live Updates: In a few hours from now, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will rise to present her ninth consecutive Union Budget. Market participants believe that expectations have been very low from the budget this time around and therefore, any positive surprise could trigger a move back towards higher levels for the Nifty 50 index.

After a three-day rally, markets took a pause on Friday. The Nifty has managed to defend the 25,250 mark and that will be the first key level down. Banks, Real Estate, Defence, Railways, Textiles, all of these sectors will be in focus during the Budget 2026 speech by the Finance Minister.

A fallout of the sell-off in Silver and Gold prices on Friday night may also have a bearing on stocks linked to the same, Hindustan Zinc in particular, along with the Gold and Silver ETFs.

Earnings reactions will come from stocks like Bajaj Auto, Sun Pharma, CDSL, IDFC First Bank, Bank of Baroda and many others. Keep an Eye on BSE after the NSE IPO took one step forward with the SEBI NOC.
