📊 Market Opening
Indian stock markets staged a sharp rebound on March 20, 2026, recovering from yesterday’s steep 3.26% fall.
The Sensex surged nearly 970 points (~1.3%) to around 75,178, while Nifty crossed 23,300.
Markets opened positive, with Sensex at 74,559 and Nifty at 23,110, supported by easing crude oil prices and improved global sentiment.
🚀 Key Drivers
