Liquide Market Summary 4th March 2026

Indian Stock Market Today: Indian equity indices declined 1.5% on March 4, extending their losses to 4% over the past three trading sessions, as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

The market opened gap-down, with the Nifty slipping near the 24,300 mark intraday, driven by broad-based selling across sectors amid weak global cues and rising geopolitical uncertainty. However, late buying in the final hour, particularly in IT stocks, helped the indices recover part of the losses.

Broader markets underperformed the benchmark indices, with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices declining more than 2% each. On the sectoral front, all indices closed in negative territory except IT, which provided some support to the market.

NIFTY: The index opened 476.90 points lower at 24,388.80, reached a high of 24,602.45 and closed at 24,480.50. Nifty formed a bullish candle with upper and lower shadows after a gap-down opening, indicating selling pressure along with intraday volatility. Immediate resistance is placed at 24,600, while immediate support stands at 24,350.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 1,392.50 points lower at 58,447.15, reached a high of 59,058.40 and closed at 58,755.25. Bank Nifty also formed a bullish candle with an upper shadow. Immediate resistance is placed at 59,000, with support around 58,400.
