Indian Market Overview - August 5, 2025

The Indian markets started Tuesday, August 5, 2025, with a flat to slightly negative trend, influenced by global factors and specific sector performances.

Following a positive close on Monday, where the Sensex rose 419 points to 81,018 and the Nifty surpassed 24,700, the market has turned cautious today, with GIFT Nifty trading around 24,726.

  • The market's rally on Monday ended a five-week losing streak.
  • Investors reacted to positive signals from the US Federal Reserve, prompted by weak job reports, which increased expectations of an interest rate reduction.
  • The Nifty gained 0.64% to close at 24,722.
  • Bank Nifty showed minimal gains, closing flat around 55,619.

Technical Analysis and Key Levels

The market is closely watching these technical levels and levels to get the market direction.

  • Immediate support for Nifty is near 24,473, which is the June low.
  • Resistance for Nifty is at approximately 25,000. Breaching this range in the coming sessions will reveal the market's direction.
  • The Bank Nifty needs to stay above 55,437 to potentially move towards 56,100; otherwise, a fall to 55,149 is possible.

Sectoral Performance Review

Monday witnessed varied sectoral results.

  • IT and PSU banks fell by about 2%.
  • Pharma stocks experienced a sell-off.
  • FMCG and select blue-chip stocks like Asian Paints, Hero MotoCorp, and Nestle saw gains.
  • Auto, metals, oil & gas, and realty indices declined, indicating profit-taking.

Global Market Context

Overnight, international markets were weak, as investors awaited further insight into US economic policies. This global backdrop is contributing to cautious trading in Indian equities.
