Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equity benchmarks, BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50, are set to resume trading today after a mid-week break on account of Gandhi Jayanti. On Tuesday, Nifty traded within a 160-point range but ended slightly below the flat line, marking its third consecutive day of losses. The early weekly expiry of Nifty Bank and the financial services expiry contributed to a volatile session.

Meanwhile, US markets struggled to recover from Tuesday’s risk-off mood, with all three major indices—the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite—closing with gains of less than 0.1% on Wednesday. Rising tensions in the Middle East continued to dampen sentiment.
