Pre-Market Analysis | April 15, 2026

Gaurav Udani, Founder – ThinCredBlu Securities Ltd, writes: “Nifty is expected to open sharply higher around 24,200, up nearly 375 points, supported by easing crude oil prices and improving global sentiment.

The strong gap-up indicates renewed buying interest and a shift back towards a positive bias after recent volatility. However, with the index approaching higher levels, price action near resistance will be crucial.

Technically, 24,400 stands out as a key resistance. A sustained move above this level could trigger further momentum, potentially pushing Nifty towards the 24,800 zone in the near term.

On the downside, 24,000–23800 will act as immediate support, where dips could attract buying interest.

Given the sharp opening, traders should avoid chasing at higher levels and instead look for buy on dips opportunities with proper risk management.

Overall, sentiment remains positive, but sustainability above key resistance will determine the next leg of the move.”

Eraaya Lifespaces Resolves Ebix Payment Services Matter with ₹180 Crore Settlement

In terms of Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Eraaya Lifespaces Limited hereby informs that a long-standing shareholder matter relating to Ebix Payment Services, a step-down subsidiary associated with the ItzCash, has been conclusively resolved, with the Hon’ble Bombay High Court approving the Consent Terms entered into between the concerned parties.

The matter emanated from legacy structures and arrangements under the previous management of the Ebix group and was not part of the Chapter 11 resolution process or the acquisition consideration paid by Eraaya, thereby representing an inherited overhang post-acquisition.

Following the acquisition of Ebix Inc, and all its global subsidiaries in August 2024, Eraaya’s management undertook a structured, time-bound review of such legacy positions, with a clear mandate to identify, isolate and resolve historical complexities while reinforcing governance discipline and operational clarity. In furtherance of this approach, the Company has executed a negotiated framework for the complete buyout of minority shareholding in Ebix Payment Services Private Limited, for an aggregate settlement amount of approximately INR 1,800 million, to be discharged over an agreed timeframe.

Despite the obligation not forming part of the original acquisition construct, Eraaya has taken a considered and decisive call to resolve the matter in entirety, with the objective of eliminating uncertainty, simplifying the group structure, and enabling sharper strategic focus on core operating priorities.

This resolution marks a material clean-up of a legacy overhang and reflects:

A decisive governance-led approach, prioritising resolution over deferral

Disciplined and forward-looking capital allocation, including towards inherited non-core exposures

A clear emphasis on stability, transparency and long-term value creation

With the Hon’ble Court’s approval, the matter attains finality and remove longstanding structural constraints, whereby shall enhance operational flexibility within the payments business and enable more efficient deployment of capital across growth verticals.

Asia has single-handedly ensured that the inflow remains positive till now, with the region making up over 86 per cent of net investments. 

The WGC year-to-date (as of April 10) data showed that investments in gold ETFs were more than a year ago, but outflows were also triple what they were a year ago. Net inflows were $10 billion lower than a year ago. Read the full story here

Sensex, Nifty 50 were down nearly 1% at close on Monday

Benchmark indices had ended the previous session on a weak note, with both BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty declining nearly 1 per cent on Monday amid rising global uncertainties. The 30-share Sensex fell 702.68 points, or 0.91 per cent, to close at 76,847.57, after plunging as much as 1,681.93 points during the day. The broader Nifty dropped 207.95 points, or 0.86 per cent, to settle at 23,842.65.

Market sentiment was weighed down by escalating geopolitical tensions following the breakdown of talks between the US and Iran, raising fears of a prolonged conflict. This triggered a sharp surge in global crude oil prices, with Brent crude jumping 7.73 per cent to USD 102.6 per barrel.

Among Sensex constituents, major laggards included Maruti Suzuki, InterGlobe Aviation, Bajaj Finance, Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services and HDFC Bank. On the other hand, ICICI Bank, NTPC and Axis Bank were among the gainers.

Asian markets such as Japan’s Nikkei 225, South Korea’s Kospi and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng ended lower, while China’s Shanghai Composite index closed marginally higher. European markets were also trading in negative territory.
