tock Market today | Share Market Live Updates – Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 7th April 2026. 

As of 02:40 PM, the market is trading slightly higher, with the Sensex at approximately 74,304 and the Nifty 50 above 23,000. Markets recovered from early losses despite ongoing volatility and tensions in the Middle East, with gains led by IT stocks. 

Analysts expect volatility to persist, with focus shifting to the RBI monetary policy outcome due on Wednesday and the ongoing earnings season. Elevated India VIX levels above 25 suggest heightened risk perception and expensive options premiums, altering typical expiry dynamics. 

While domestic fundamentals and macro tailwinds offer some support, near-term direction will likely hinge on geopolitical developments and policy cues, keeping traders cautious and markets range-bound.

Market Updates at 3.12PM

  • Markets have recovered from early losses and are now trading in positive territory
  • Sensex up around 500+ points, currently near 74,609.96
  • Nifty back above the crucial 23,000 mark

Key technical factors to watch in today’s trade

  • Nifty technicals
  • * Buy-on-dips bias intact: Nifty continues to attract buyers at lower levels, holding above the 22,720–22,820 support zone, indicating a positive near-term bias despite early weakness.
  • *Breakout level crucial: A decisive move above 23,060–23,070 is needed to trigger fresh upside towards 23,300–23,500, while a fall below 22,720 could revive downside risks.
  • Bank Nifty technicals:

    * 52,000 support holds the key: Nifty Bank futures are sustaining above the crucial 52,000 base, keeping the bullish bias intact; holding this level increases the likelihood of a fresh rally.

    * Breakout trigger at 52,700: A decisive move above 52,700 can accelerate upside towards 54,000, while a break below 52,000 may open the door to 51,500–50,300 downside levels.

  • Gold and silver:

    * Range-bound with breakout risk: Gold ($4,580–$4,800) and silver ($67–$77) are consolidating within tight ranges; a decisive breakout on either side will determine the next directional move.

      Gold, silver trade rangebound as Trump’s Iran ultimatum stokes geopolitical anxiety;

      Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont, writes – Precious Metals trade rangebound ahead of Trump’s Iran war deadline

      · Safe-Haven Dynamics – Gold and silver are trading in a narrow range following two consecutive sessions of decline. The key driver is renewed geopolitical anxiety after President Trump threatened to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure, raising concerns over a prolonged conflict and its broader economic fallout.

      · Geopolitical Developments – Trump issued a fresh ultimatum to Iran upto April 8- 5:30 am, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz or facing strikes on power plants and civilian targets. Iran has rejected the demand and continues attacking regional energy assets. However, diplomatic channels remain active — the US, Iran, and regional mediators are reportedly negotiating a potential 45-day ceasefire framework.

      · Macroeconomic Signals – Markets increasingly believe that war-driven energy price spikes could reignite inflation, pushing major central banks — including the Fed — toward a hawkish policy tilt. This week, US GDP data and FOMC meeting minutes will be closely watched for directional cues on price momentum.

      Technical Triggers

      · Gold prices are expected to trade in the range of $4580 (~Rs 144,000) to $4800 (~Rs 154,000) this week breakout or breakdown.

      · Silver is expected to trade in the range of $67(~ Rs 215,000) to $77(~Rs 243,000) this week before giving a breakout or breakdown.

      Bitcoin remains range-bound between $68,000–$69,000; decisive move above $72,000 could trigger rally, says Giottus CEO Vikram Subburaj

      Market analysis by Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com

      Bitcoin was trading in the $68,000-$69,000 range on April 7 after briefly testing levels close to $70,000 intraday. The price action remains consistent with a range-bound recovery. There is no confirmed breakout yet. The immediate structure is intact and the support lies around $66,000-$68,000. The resistance remains clustered in the $70,000-$72,000 region. A decisive move above $72,000 has been flagged in market notes as a potential trigger for a faster move toward $80,000 due to relatively thin supply in that band. Until then, Bitcoin is trading within a defined corridor.

      On-chain data suggest the market is stable but not yet in expansion. Bitcoin is trading roughly 20-22% above its realised price (~$54,000–$55,000). This represents the aggregate cost basis of holders and tells us that the market is no longer in a stress phase. However, analysts place the True Market Mean near $79,000, implying that Bitcoin is still below a level typically associated with stronger bull-market conditions. This positioning (above realised price but below equilibrium) supports the view that the current phase is one of repair and consolidation. 

      Institutional flows have improved, but remain inconsistent. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw about $1.32 billion in net inflows in March 2026. This marked the first positive month after a weak start to the year. However, early April flows have been uneven. Data compiled by Farside show +$69.4 million on March 30, +$117.5 million on March 31, followed by -$173.7 million on April 1, +$9.0 million on April 2, and a stronger +$289.5 million on April 6. This pattern reflects renewed participation, but not sustained accumulation.

      Macro developments are likely to be the decisive factor in the near term. The Federal Reserve minutes (April 8) and U.S. CPI data (April 10) are immediate triggers. This will be followed by the FOMC meeting on April 28-29. Recent U.S. labour data showed 178,000 jobs added in March with unemployment at 4.3%. This reduces the urgency for rate cuts. At the same time, oil prices have remained elevated (around or above $110 per barrel in recent sessions), adding to inflation risks. This combination of firm labour markets and elevated energy prices could keep financial conditions tight. 

      Altcoins are not confirming strength either. Data shows ETH at (all approx) $2,105 (-1.2%); XRP at $1.31 (-1.4%); BNB at $598 (marginally negative); SOL at $79.7 (-3.3%), and DOGE at $0.090 (-2.4%) on the day. The broader pattern is one of selective weakness outside Bitcoin and not one of coordinated market participation.

      Our advice: For investors, the signal is clear: Bitcoin is holding above structural support. However, a sustained move higher will likely require consistent ETF inflows and supportive macro data. Do not fall for short-term price momentum. Be aware of the support levels and look for clean breaks.

      Rally in India steel prices continues; rapid domestic HRC upswing narrows negative flat-long spread

      India’s average HRC spot margin for Apr-26 (month-to-date) increased to Rs 38,303/t, up by over Rs1,890/t m-m from Mar-26, remaining well above the median margin level observed over past 2 yrs

      Margin expansion has been supported primarily by higher steel prices, while input costs have remained largely stable on a sequential m-m basis.

      Input cost trends: global coking coal rises and iron-ore prices largely stable; domestic iron ore prices increase

      LPG supply risks appear to be manageable at present

      4Q update reflects strong momentum, with near‑double digit consolidated revenue growth, ahead of our 6% growth expectation.

      India business continued its improving growth trajectory, delivering double‑digit revenue growth alongside high single‑digit UVG (double-digit ex-soaps); we estimate domestic revenues to have grown ~10.5%.

      Indonesia business showed further signs of stabilization with mid‑single digit volume growth, while the GAUM cluster delivered another quarter of double‑digit sales growth

      Q4 profitability remained intact, with EBITDA growth broadly tracking revenue and no immediate impact from recent commodity inflation.

      Management guided to a 6–9% cost inflation risk in FY27E but expressed confidence in mitigating this through calibrated pricing, cost efficiencies, operating leverage, & media optimization.

      Nomura on GCPL

      Buy, TP Rs 1525

      4Q update: Consolidated revenue growth close to double digits, led by high-single-digit India volume growth

      Consolidated EBITDA growth will be in line with revenue growth, according to management

      Expect GCPL to report EBITDA growth of 11-12% y-y, largely in line with expectation of 11.6% y-y.

      Management expects cost inflation of 6-9% in 1HFY27F, but highlights mitigating factors & remains confident to accelerate FY27F sales growth & sustain profitability

      1) Healthy double-digit India sales growth with volume up high single digits and margins in the normative 24-26% range;

      2) weaker-than-expected international margin, resulting in close to double-digit consolidated Ebitda growth;

      3) confidence in achieving FY27 bottom line plans despite commodity inflation, were key takeaways

      CITI on FSN E Com

      Business update highlights second consecutive quarter of an uptick in BPC growth (CitiE: 27% vs 27%/25% in 3Q/1HFY26) and a sustained bottoming out in Fashion (CitiE: 38% YoY).

      Based on the update, expect Nykaa’s EBITDA margins to expand 170bps YoY (20bps QoQ) to 8.2% in 4QFY26 vs a YoY expansion of 140bps in 9mFY26

      In BPC, Nykaa’s marketing & sales-distribution spends have been ahead of NSV growth in recent Qs (35% YoY vs NSV growth of 27% in 9mFY26) but have also been accompanied by robust new customer acquisitions.

      BPC margins have nevertheless expanded, aided by strong owned-brands, decent ad-revenues and operating leverage.

      In Fashion, headline growth was aided by favorable base but still expect the segment to achieve operating b/e in Q.

      Nifty seen opening 150 points lower; 23,200 resistance and 22,700–22,800 support key ahead of expiry, says Gaurav Udani

      Gaurav Udani, Founder – Thincredblu Securities, “Nifty is expected to open lower by around 150 points near 22,900, indicating a cautious start ahead of weekly expiry, which could keep volatility elevated through the session.

      The index continues to trade within a defined range, with 23,200 acting as a key resistance. Unless this level is decisively broken, upside remains capped and rallies may face selling pressure. On the downside, the 22,700–22,800 support zone remains crucial — a break below this could trigger fresh weakness.

      Given the expiry setup, expect sharp intraday moves and possible whipsaws. Traders should avoid aggressive positions at the open and instead react to levels.

      Bias remains tactical — sell on rise near resistance and buy only near strong support, with strict risk management. Global cues will continue to play a role in setting the tone for the day.

      Bitcoin rebounds near $70,000 as ceasefire hopes and short squeeze lift prices; upside capped by resistance, institutional demand supports $68,000 level

      “Bitcoin has rebounded toward the $70,000 range, supported by easing geopolitical concerns after reports of a potential Iran ceasefire and a short squeeze that pushed prices higher. The rally was further amplified as traders unwound bearish positions, briefly driving Bitcoin above the $70,000 mark.

      However, the upside momentum has shown signs of hesitation, with Bitcoin facing rejection near the $70,000 level and struggling to sustain a breakout. This suggests that while sentiment has improved, the market remains in a fragile balance between relief-driven buying and underlying macro uncertainty.

      At the same time, strong institutional demand continues to provide a supportive backdrop, particularly with continued accumulation by MicroStrategy, which recently added to its Bitcoin holdings. This ongoing buying is helping Bitcoin hold above the $68,000 support zone despite volatility.

      From a technical perspective, if Bitcoin sustains above current levels, the structure suggests a potential move toward the $75,000–$77,000 range in the near term, while failure to hold support could keep the asset range-bound in the short term.” – Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42

      HDFC Mutual Fund Turns a Dying Lake into a Lesson in SIPs through Nurture Nature 4.0

      HDFC Mutual Fund has concluded a first-of-its-kind campaign under its long- standing initiative, Nurture Nature, reimagining how India understands Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) by turning a complex financial concept into visible, real-world impact.

      The campaign linked every new SIP registered during the initiative to water restoration, with each SIP registration contributing to the revival of the dying Nayanamkunta Lake in Hyderabad. Thousands of individual SIPs which got registered, helped channel a small portion of the funds into a large-scale ecological effort that helped restore a lake in partnership with the renowned environmentalist Anand Malligavad, bringing a fragile ecosystem back to life.

      Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Navneet Munot, Managing Director & CEO, HDFC Asset Management Company, said “This campaign is a testament to the idea that small steps, taken consistently, can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Just as SIPs help build financial security over time, collective action can restore and sustain our environment. We are proud to have created a platform where every investor could contribute to a larger social cause.”

      Beyond awareness, the campaign aimed to inspire genuine behavioural change. By drawing a parallel between the discipline of regular investing and the compounding power of collective action, the initiative shows how small, sustained contributions financial or environmental can create lasting transformation

      Credit Card Report for the month of February 2026 from Asit C. Mehta Investment

      Total credit card spending declined sharply to ₹1,772 bn, falling 11% MoM but still growing modestly by 6% YoY, indicating slowdown in consumption momentum

      Transaction volumes mirrored the trend, dropping 8.5% MoM to 491 million, though maintaining strong 23.9% YoY growth, suggesting usage remains healthy despite lower spending values

      The slowdown in spends and volumes was largely driven by the top 4 banks, which together account for ~76% of industry spends, highlighting their outsized impact on overall trends

      Card issuance remained robust at 1.05 million new cards, hitting a 23-month high and reflecting ~7.7% YoY growth, indicating continued focus on customer acquisition

      Total cards outstanding reached ~118 million, showing steady expansion in the credit card base across the industry

      Average spend per card declined to ₹15,056, down 11.7% MoM and 1.6% YoY, reflecting weaker consumption and dilution due to rapid card additions

      Spend per transaction also declined (~3% MoM / ~14% YoY), indicating continued pressure on ticket sizes and consumer spending behavior

      Among major banks, SBI showed strong YoY spend growth (30.3%), while ICICI Bank saw a slight YoY decline, indicating divergence in performance among top players

      Mid-sized banks like Federal Bank and Yes Bank posted strong YoY growth (47.7% and 23.5% respectively), gaining traction despite overall slowdown

      Federal Bank stood out in card issuance and portfolio expansion, with ~87% YoY growth in cards and significant market share gains despite a small base

      Market concentration remains high, with top 10 banks accounting for ~93% of total spending share, indicating a highly consolidated industry

      February is seasonally weak for card usage, but the sharper-than-usual decline suggests underlying softness in near-term consumption trends

      Divergence between strong card issuance and weak spending highlights that banks are prioritizing growth and customer acquisition over immediate usage, which may support future recovery in spends

      4QFY26E Depositories Preview

      Godrej Consumer Products Ltd – Quarterly Update Q4FY26

      This update provides an overall summary of the operating performance and demand trends during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. This is based on internal unaudited management reports. A detailed performance update will be shared following the Board of Directors’ approval of the Q4 FY26 financial results. The demand conditions and consumer sentiment remained steady in the domestic FMCG sector through Q4 FY26, with trade channels normalizing following the GST transition and food inflation easing. Policy tailwinds, including personal income tax relief and GST rationalization do position the industry well to offset the impact of crude led inflation as we enter FY27.

      Against this backdrop, our Standalone business is expected to deliver double-digit underlying sales growth and high-single digit underlying volume growth in Q4 FY26, in line with guidance provided at our last analyst interaction. Excluding soaps, volume growth continues in double-digits, positioning GCPL among the volume growth leaders in the Indian FMCG sector. Growth has been broad-based, with all our future categories growing well. Standalone EBITDA margins are expected to sustain within our normative range, supported by meaningful cost savings in Q4. As guided earlier, our Indonesia business continues to show signs of stabilization with the peak of the competitive intensity behind us. Underlying volume growth is expected at mid-single digit in Q4, with market share gains sustained across categories. The GAUM (Godrej Africa, USA, and Middle East) business continues to deliver strong results, with double-digit sales growth and high-single volume growth. The growth has been broad based across geographies and categories with Hair Fashion and other categories continuing to see strong consumer traction of our products across markets. At a Consolidated level, we expect to deliver close to double-digit revenue growth, consistent with the sequential improvement trajectory through the year, with EBITDA growth broadly in line with revenue. We remain conscious of the volatility of the situation. If there is a further significant further cost escalation from current levels, we may have to re-assess the situation and our plans. We remain confident in the resilience of our portfolio, the strength of our brands, and our ability to deliver sustained, profitable growth going forward. The exit trajectory, combined with a favourable base, and continued strong domestic execution, positions us well for an acceleration into FY27.

      US Secretary of War Hegseth: Today will be the largest volume of strikes on Iran. Tomorrow’s strikes on Iran will be more than today.

      JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon warns America must get stronger or risk losing its edge

      JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon just released his annual shareholder letter.

      His message: America has no divine right to success. It needs to get stronger or risk losing its position.

      JPMorgan is putting $1.5 trillion behind that conviction over the next decade through a Security and Resiliency Initiative, plus another American Dream Initiative aimed at expanding economic opportunity locally.

      On the Iran war: it risks future oil and commodity price shocks and “time will tell” whether it achieves its goals.

      On Europe: currently on a “bad path.” Dimon wants one big free trade deal with all of Europe in exchange for economic and military reforms.

      On AI: adoption will be “far faster” than electricity or the internet. JPMorgan will not put its head in the sand.

      One of the most powerful bankers in the world is making his thoughts known, and they seem to be resonating with many.
