TLDR
Market Recap: March 25, 2026
On March 25, Indian markets staged a sharp rebound, with Nifty 50 rising 394.05 points (1.72%) to 23,306.45 and Sensex gaining 1,205.00 points (1.63%) to 75,273.45, as falling oil prices and ceasefire hopes triggered relief buying. Midcap 100 climbed about 2.3% and Small Cap 100 gained about 2.6%. India VIX eased to 24.64 after Monday’s panic spike. Despite the bounce, foreign investors have still pulled $11.37 billion from Indian equities this month, while DIIs bought ₹5,429.78 crore on Wednesday against FII selling of ₹1,805.37 crore.
