Liquide Market Summary 12th March 2026

Indian Stock Market Today: Indian equity indices extended losses for the second consecutive session on March 12, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions that pushed crude oil prices above $100 per barrel. Weak global cues, a depreciating rupee and continued FII selling further dampened investor sentiment.

Nifty opened below 23,700 and extended its losses throughout the session, hitting an intraday low of 23,556.30. While the index saw some recovery, hovering around the 23,700 mark, final-hour selling led to a close near the day's low.

Broader indices fared slightly better than the benchmarks, with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices falling 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively.

Among sectors, Auto, FMCG, Realty, Financial Services and Private Bank indices saw declines of 1-3%, while Energy, Media, Metal and Oil & Gas gained between 0.3-2%.

NIFTY: The index opened 192 points lower at 23,674.85, reached a high of 23,833.15 and closed at 23,639.15. Nifty formed a small-bodied bearish candle with upper and lower shadows. Immediate resistance is placed at 23,760, while immediate support stands at 23,550.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 727.55 points lower at 55,008.20, reached a high of 55,636.95 and closed at 55,100.95. Bank Nifty formed a small-bodied bullish candle with long upper and minor lower shadows. Immediate resistance is placed at 55,400, with support around 54,800.
