Live: Can Bihar poll outcome trigger Nifty to reclaim 26,000-mark? | Opening Bell

The Nifty ended flat amid high volatility on Thursday ahead of the Bihar election results, facing stiff resistance near the 26,000 mark after early gains faded. Asian Paints, Hindalco, and IndiGo were among the top gainers, while Tata Motors and M&M saw selling pressure. Sectorally, Metal, Realty, and Pharma indices outperformed, while PSU Bank and FMCG declined. The broader markets underperformed, with both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 falling 0.4% each. Globally, investors await key US inflation and jobs data for further cues. This morning, global cues were weak. US markets ended lower overnight as investors rotated out of tech stocks. Asian markets also started the day on a negative note, tracking losses in Wall Street.
