Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty may open close to 26,000; Airtel in focus

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates:

The last-hour jinx refuses to let go of the bulls, at least that is the trend emerging over the last three trading sessions. The Nifty 50 index, after being locked in a narrow range for a better part of Tuesday's session, fell over 150 points from the highs to end near very key levels.

F&O data suggests 25,900 to be a key level for the Nifty, as it coincides with the 20-DMA, which is placed around the 25,850 mark. The Nifty is placed exactly at those levels.

Today marks the start of the December F&O series for the NSE contracts and history suggests that the final month of the year has generally been a good one for the index. Broader markets outperformed on Tuesday and the bulls would be hoping for that trend to continue, especially since the market breadth has been adverse these last few sessions.

Watch out for Bharti Airtel today due to a potential block deal, NCC for an order win, IOB for a large income-tax refund and NTPC Green for its lock-in ending. The handover from Wall Street is also a positive one.
