Share Market HIGHLIGHTS: Indian equity benchmarks Nifty 50 and Sensex managed to halt a two-day losing streak with a mild gain on Monday, March 27, as Dalal Street entered a four-trading session week owing to the Ram Navami holiday on Thursday. The rise in the Indian share market comes amid mixed moves across global peers, as optimism about resilience of the banking sector following the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse crisis is countered by the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates.
Here are some of the headlines in focus on Dalal Street:
Meanwhile, US-based Hindenberg targeted Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's Block Inc — a second major report since its accusations of stock manipulation and misuse of offshore tax havens by the Adani conglomerate rocked the Indian share market, even as Adani group denied any wrongdoing. The Adani group dismissed the Hindenburg report as baseless, and called the allegations "unsubstantiated speculations".

Capital appreciation and dividends are two main sources of returns for a shareholder. Not only do dividend-paying stocks interest investors, but they also act as a barometer of a company's health and profitability.
