Indian benchmark indices ended on a strong note on March 10, with the Nifty holding above the 24,250 mark. Despite witnessing volatility during the session due to the Nifty weekly expiry, the market staged a recovery in the latter half of the trading day and closed higher.

Market Sentiment Supported by Global Developments

Market sentiment improved amid expectations of easing geopolitical tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled that military operations in Iran could be nearing an end. This development also led to a decline in crude oil prices, which further supported market sentiment during the session.
