🏦 Indian Stock Market Closing Bell – 30th October 2025
Profit Booking and Weak Global Cues Drag Indices Lower Ahead of Monthly Expiry
The Indian stock market ended Thursday’s session on a subdued note, marking a pause after a strong uptrend earlier in the week. Benchmark indices came under pressure from profit booking and weak global sentiment as investors turned cautious ahead of the monthly F&O expiry.
At the closing bell on 30th October 2025, the Nifty 50 settled at 25,877.85, down 106 points from its intraday high. The Sensex slipped 346 points to close at 84,404.46, while the Bank Nifty ended at 58,031.10, reflecting mild weakness in financial stocks. The Fin Nifty also lost ground, closing at 27,376.00.
Despite an encouraging start—Nifty opened at 25,984.40 and Bank Nifty at 58,152.05—selling pressure emerged during the second half of the session as global markets remained jittery ahead of key economic data releases from the U.S.

🌐 Global Market Overview
Global sentiment remained tepid, as Asian markets traded lower after mixed cues from Wall Street. Investors awaited U.S. GDP data and inflation numbers for cues on the Federal Reserve’s rate outlook.
- Dow Jones Futures: Slightly lower by 0.15%
- Nasdaq Futures: Flat amid pressure from tech earnings
- Brent Crude: Steady at around $83 per barrel
- Dollar Index: Hovered near 105.9, weighing on emerging market currencies
European markets also opened on a cautious note with the FTSE 100 and DAX showing minor declines. The weakness spilled over into Indian equities, triggering broad-based selling in late trade.
💹 Sectoral Performance: Mixed to Negative
The broader market saw rotational profit booking across sectors. Defensive sectors like FMCG and Pharma managed to hold steady, while cyclical and high-beta sectors witnessed selling pressure.
Sectoral Snapshot:
- Banking & Financials: Slight decline amid volatility in PSU banks.
- IT Sector: Weakness persisted due to global tech selloff.
- FMCG: Outperformed marginally, with Hindustan Unilever and ITC providing some support.
- Metals & Energy: Declined on weak China demand sentiment and soft crude prices.
- Auto: Witnessed mild selling after a strong monthly performance.
🏦 Banking Stocks React to Policy Buzz
After the recent buzz that India may allow up to 49% direct foreign investment in state-run banks (from the current 20%), the PSU Bank Index had shown strong rallies earlier in the week. However, traders chose to book profits today ahead of expiry, leading to marginal declines in stocks like SBI, Bank of Baroda, and PNB.
Despite today’s softness, sentiment for PSU banks remains broadly positive as the government’s FDI reform agenda could attract long-term institutional inflows.
💬 Market Breadth and Volatility
Market breadth remained slightly negative, with declining stocks outnumbering advancers on NSE.
- Advances: 832
- Declines: 1,093
- Unchanged: 102
The India VIX rose mildly by 1.8%, indicating growing nervousness ahead of the monthly derivatives expiry.
🌎 Foreign & Domestic Institutional Flows
Provisional data indicated that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers worth ₹412 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided some cushion with net buying of ₹298 crore.
This continued tug-of-war between FII outflows and DII support kept the indices range-bound.
🔍 Technical View – Nifty and Bank Nifty
Nifty 50:
Nifty faced resistance near the 26,000 mark, which acted as a psychological barrier. The intraday low near 25,850 provided immediate support. As long as Nifty holds above 25,800, the medium-term trend remains intact, but a breach below could invite short-term weakness toward 25,650.
Bank Nifty:
The index consolidated between 58,000–58,300 with visible call writing at 58,500 CE, indicating limited upside in the near term. Support lies near 57,800, followed by a major base at 57,400.
🧩 Broader Market Mood
Midcap and Smallcap indices saw mixed movement. Select midcaps in capital goods and energy space held steady while profit booking dragged real estate and metal midcaps lower.
Investors preferred to stay light ahead of monthly expiry and upcoming RBI policy signals.
🔮 Outlook for Friday (31st October 2025)
The overall structure suggests range-bound consolidation as traders roll over positions.
- Watch Nifty levels 25,800 (support) and 26,100 (resistance).
- Bank Nifty could remain volatile between 57,800–58,400.
- Stock-specific activity likely in PSU banks, FMCG, and select midcaps.
Cues from global data and U.S. GDP prints will guide sentiment for Friday’s trade.
🧠 Conclusion
Indian markets paused after a three-day rally, weighed by weak global cues and expiry-driven volatility. However, underlying domestic strength remains intact, supported by steady macroeconomic fundamentals and improving corporate earnings visibility.
Short-term consolidation could continue, but investors with a medium-term horizon should use dips in quality large caps and PSU banks to accumulate positions.cific, focusing on financials, autos, and FMCG, while maintaining a cautious approach in IT and metals.
