Indian stock market set to hit record highs in festive season: Experts

The Indian stock market is poised to hit new record highs in the second half of 2025, especially during the festive season, backed by strong macroeconomic fundamentals and a revival in consumption, according to Ankit Patel, co-founder of Arunasset Investment Services. In an interview with Mint, Patel emphasized the importance of disciplined investing amid ongoing global uncertainties. He identified the pharmaceutical sector as a compelling contra bet, given its undervaluation and long-term potential. H1CY25: A Mixed Bag with a Turnaround The first half of 2025 began on a slower note due to deferred government spending linked to general elections. However, a significant policy shift by the Reserve Bank of India in February—marked by interest rate cuts, liquidity injections, and eased banking regulations—reversed the sentiment. This accommodative stance helped lift the economy, with Q4 FY25 GDP growth clocking in at an impressive 7.4%, showcasing resilience. RBI's massive dividend payout of ₹2.69 lakh crore further improved the fiscal landscape. Outlook for H2CY25 With inflation down to 2.82% and forex reserves remaining strong, India's macroeconomic conditions continue to support equity markets. Moreover, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have turned bullish, pouring in over ₹23,000 crore over the past four months. Patel expects consumption-led growth and sectoral momentum to fuel a festive rally, likely pushing benchmark indices like the Nifty 50 past their previous peaks. Sectoral Insights While IT and banking remain core, Patel highlights pharma as a value pick amid cyclic underperformance. 'It's a classic contra bet with structural tailwinds,' he noted, advising investors to align their strategies with personal goals and risk appetites. As the markets gear up for Q1FY26 earnings, investors should stay focused, avoiding noise and short-term volatility, he added.

5 key triggers for Sensex, Nifty next week; India-US trade deal, Q1 earnings, FPI flows

The Indian stock market is poised for a volatile week as multiple global and domestic cues unfold simultaneously. The top factors influencing investor sentiment include the anticipated India-US trade deal, the kick-off of Q1 FY26 earnings, foreign capital flows, monsoon progress, and the release of the US Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes. During the week ended July 4, both the Nifty 50 and Sensex slipped 0.70%, snapping their two-week winning streak. Profit-booking, foreign capital outflows, and uncertainty over trade negotiations between India and the US weighed on the indices. According to Ajit Mishra, SVP at Religare Broking, "Investors are cautious ahead of global trade deadlines and earnings. A potential interim trade agreement between India and the US may limit downside risks, but clear outcomes are crucial." While large-cap indices corrected, mid- and small-cap segments continued their upward march. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.5%, and the Smallcap 100 rose 0.3%, showing resilience amid broader volatility. Here are 5 major triggers for the markets in the coming week: 1. India-US Trade Deal The unresolved trade pact between India and the US remains a top market trigger. With US President Donald Trump's July 9 deadline approaching, investor anxiety is growing. Although Indian negotiators returned from Washington last week, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal reiterated that India will not commit to any deal unless it serves the national interest. A breakthrough could boost export-heavy sectors such as IT, pharma, and auto components. In contrast, any deadlock may dent near-term sentiment. 2. Q1 FY26 Earnings Season India Inc's Q1 results will start rolling in this week. IT bellwether TCS and Tata Elxsi will release their earnings on July 10, followed by DMart on July 11. Investors will watch closely for growth guidance, margin trends, and demand commentary, which will likely set the tone for sectoral momentum. 3. Monsoon Progress India's southwest monsoon has shown healthy progress, with cumulative June rainfall exceeding the long-period average by nearly 9%. Improved monsoon activity is aiding kharif crop sowing, which is up by 11% year-on-year. With the IMD forecasting active rainfall over the next week, monsoon trends will continue to be a crucial macroeconomic monitor for inflation and rural demand. 4. Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) Trends So far in July, FPIs have pulled out ₹5,773 crore from Indian equities amid uncertainty and valuation concerns. Experts suggest that clarity on the trade deal and robust Q1 earnings could reverse this trend. According to VK Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial, "A breakthrough in India-US trade talks and strong corporate earnings could revive FPI interest." 5. US Fed Minutes Global markets will keep a close watch on the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's June 17–18 meeting. These insights will offer clues on the Fed's stance regarding inflation and potential interest rate cuts. Though a September rate cut is still expected, recent jobs data hint at a resilient labor market, possibly delaying policy easing. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stated that the inflationary impact of tariffs may start appearing in the coming months, suggesting a cautious Fed in the near term.

Is stock market open on July 7 as per the official trading calendar?

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain open on Monday, July 7, 2025, as per the official trading calendar. Despite earlier uncertainty over whether Yaum-e-Ashura would be observed on July 6 or July 7—depending on moon sighting—the official announcement has confirmed July 6 as the date of observance. This clarification eliminates confusion about any public holiday for the stock market on July 7. Both stock exchanges will function as usual. Yaum-e-Ashura, observed on the 10th day of Muharram—the first month in the Islamic calendar—is one of the holiest days for Muslims, especially Shia communities. It commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in the historic Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. In India, several religious occasions are recognized with public holidays. However, as Muharram has been officially marked on July 6 this year, there will be no market closure on July 7. BSE/NSE Holiday Calendar Reminder: Some of the major upcoming market holidays in 2025 include: Independence Day – August 15 (Friday) Ganesh Chaturthi – August 27 (Wednesday) Diwali (Laxmi Pujan) – October 21 (Tuesday) Christmas – December 25 (Thursday) For more updates on market trends, IPOs, and investment news, stay tuned to our business coverage.
