Markets surge in early trade tracking rally in global peers
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 426.79 points to 82,481.90 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty climbed 123.25 points to 25,167.60.
From the 30-Sensex firms, Titan, HCL Tech, Reliance Industries, UltraTech Cement, Hindustan Unilever and Tata Steel were among the major gainers.
Kotak Mahindra Bank and ICICI Bank were the laggards.
"Markets are expected to open on a positive note, supported by easing geopolitical tensions following the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, US market closing on a 4-month high, and a sharp drop in crude oil prices— down over 15% in the past few days to below $68 per barrel, a 5-month low," Vikas Jain, head of research at Reliance Securities, said, in his pre-open market commentary.
In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were trading higher while Japan's Nikkei 225 index quoted marginally lower.
U.S. markets ended significantly higher on Tuesday (June 24, 2025).
"A significant feature of the recent market trend has been its resilience despite major challenges like the West Asian crisis. Even during the short India-Pak conflict the market has been resilient. A significant contributor to this resilience has been FII buying during the crisis. Interestingly FIIs have been selling, like yesterday, after the crisis blows over.
"On the other hand DIIs have been sustained buyers in the market, thanks to the continuing inflows into mutual funds. This will impart resilience to the market even when FIIs sell on valuation concerns," V.K. Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude jumped 1.30% to $68.01 a barrel.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹5,266.01 crore on Tuesday, according to exchange data. Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) bought stocks worth ₹5,209.60 crore.
On Tuesday, the 30-share Sensex settled in the green, climbing 158.32 points or 0.19% to 82,055.11. On similar lines, the Nifty rose by 72.45 points or 0.29% to end at 25,044.35.

The index opened higher and rose further by 440.4 points or 0.52 per cent to hit a high of 83,850.09. However, profit taking emerged in the last hour of trade dragging the barometer to a low of 83,186.74 in the pre-close session. Mumbai, Jul 3 (PTI) Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty pared intra-day gains to close lower on Thursday due to last-hour selling in financial and metal shares. Among the Sensex firms, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Adani Ports, Trent, State Bank of India, Titan and Tata Consultancy Services were the laggards. However, Maruti, Infosys, NTPC, Asian Paints, Eternal and Hindustan Unilever were among the biggest gainers. 'Markets traded volatile on the weekly expiry day and ended marginally lower, continuing the ongoing consolidation phase,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd said. Sector-wise, the trend remained mixed — auto and pharma posted gains, while metal and realty were among the top losers, he added. The broader indices also mirrored this movement and closed on a flat note. The BSE smallcap gauge climbed 0.47 per cent while midcap index dipped 0.06 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, services dropped the most by 1.08 per cent, followed by metal (0.77 per cent), realty (0.61 per cent), telecommunication (0.55 per cent), utilities (0.48 per cent) and bankex (0.48 per cent). Healthcare, consumer discretionary, auto, consumer durables and oil & gas were the gainers. Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said that investors remain watchful of developments surrounding the potential US-India trade agreement, with the 90-day pause nearing its end. FIIs have turned cautious in the recent days due to premium valuation. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai's SSE Composite index settled higher while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended lower. European markets were trading on a mixed note. The US markets ended mostly higher on Wednesday. The Indian services sector growth touched a ten-month high in June aided by robust expansion in international sales and job creation, amid positive demand trends and ongoing improvement in sales, a monthly survey said on Thursday. The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity Index rose from 58.8 in May to 60.4 in June, driven by sharp upturn in new business orders. In the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below 50 denotes contraction. Global oil benchmark Brent crude declined 1.03 per cent to USD 68.40 a barrel. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,561.62 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data. On Wednesday, the BSE Sensex ended 287.60 points or 0.34 per cent lower at 83,409.69. The Nifty declined by 88.40 points or 0.35 per cent to settle at 25,453.40.

Trade Setup July 4: A decisive breakout past 25,580 could revive upward momentum
The Nifty index continued to face stiff resistance at higher levels on the weekly expiry session, closing 48 points lower at 25,405—down 0.19%—amid selling in financial heavyweights like Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bajaj Finserv. Despite the weakness in benchmark indices, broader markets displayed resilience, with the Nifty Midcap 100 inching up 0.03% and the Smallcap 100 gaining 0.26%. Sectoral trends were mixed, with Media, Consumer Durables, and Healthcare leading the gains, while PSU Bank, Metal, and Realty indices dragged. In standout performances, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Apollo Hospitals, and Hero MotoCorp managed solid gains. On the flip side, SBI Life, Kotak Bank, and Bajaj Finserv emerged as session laggards. Vedanta fell over 2% after reports surfaced that its demerger hit a potential snag at the NCLT. HDB Financial Services, recently listed on the bourses, extended its listing gains by rising another 6%, adding to its 13.5% debut surge. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors turned net sellers in the cash market, while domestic investors were net buyers. Market sentiment remained cautious amid global uncertainty, especially with key US economic indicators—including jobless claims, payroll data, and services PMI—slated for release later in the day. Additionally, developments on US-India trade talks are being closely monitored. Siddharth Khemka of Motilal Oswal noted that markets may stay range-bound as investors adopt a wait-and-watch strategy. Nandish Shah of HDFC Securities observed that the Nifty is in a short-term corrective phase, with support at 25,317 and 25,222, while 25,600 remains a key hurdle. According to Rupak De of LKP Securities, the formation of an inside bar on the daily chart indicates indecision among traders. He emphasized that as long as the index holds within the 25,300–25,500 zone, sideways movement is likely to continue. Om Mehra of SAMCO Securities added that a sustained close above 25,260 would keep the bullish structure intact. A decisive breakout past 25,580 could revive upward momentum, with the next resistance targets at 25,740 and 25,850. The Nifty Bank index also ended lower at 56,791.95, down 0.36%. Mehra said the support zone lies between 56,300–56,400, and that any consolidation above 56,000 may set the stage for renewed upside. A break above 57,200 could signal strength and potential for fresh highs. Investors are advised to watch key levels closely and use the ongoing consolidation phase as a strategic opportunity for re-entry.
