IPO Monsoon
TLDR
📈 Market Recap: July 01, 2025
On July 1, 2025, Indian equity markets ended flat after a choppy, range-bound session as investors digested mixed global cues and sectoral rotation. The BSE Sensex closed up 90.83 points (0.11%) at 83,697.29, while the NSE Nifty 50 edged higher by 24.75 points (0.10%) to settle at 25,541.80. The session saw consolidation following the prior week’s rally, with market breadth nearly even, 1,491 stocks advanced and 1,452 declined on the NSE. PSU banks extended their outperformance, while media and FMCG stocks lagged. The Nifty Bank index hit a fresh record high of 57,614.50 intraday before closing marginally lower at 57,312.75. Broader indices were mixed: BSE Midcap rose 0.6% and Smallcap gained 0.8%, but the Nifty Smallcap 250 ended down 0.2%.
Key Drivers:
Trade optimism and dollar softness: Global trade talks progress, and a weaker USD supported risk assets.
Sectoral rotation: PSU banks, metals, oil & gas, and pharma outperformed; IT, FMCG, and auto lagged.
Profit booking in financials: Major private banks pulled back after extended rallies.
