Overnight Digest: Stocks to Watch on Monday – April 06, 2026

On Thursday, April 2, India’s benchmark indices, the Nifty 50 and the Sensex, reclaimed their lost ground as a recovery in the rupee lifted investor sentiment after the central Bank floated measures to curb speculation.

The Nifty 50 opened nearly 300 points lower after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled a potential escalation in the U.S. offensive against Iran over the next two to three weeks. However, the index staged a strong Intraday recovery, trimming over 300 points from the day’s low to end with marginal gains.

At the close, the Nifty 50 rose by 33.70 points, or 0.15 per cent, to settle at 22,713.10. The Sensex advanced by 185.23 points, or 0.25 per cent, to 73,319.55.

Markets around the world remained closed today due to the ‘Good Friday’ holiday.
