Intraday Market Narrative
The session began on a steady note, with the Nifty opening at 24,586.20 amid mixed cues from Asia. Early trade was range-bound as investors assessed the impact of global bond yields climbing and a slightly hawkish tone from the US Fed officials overnight.
In the mid-session, Nifty attempted to break past 24,650 but failed to sustain as selling pressure emerged in banking and financial stocks. However, gains in FMCG, IT, and select auto counters provided some cushion.
The final hour of trade witnessed mild recovery in frontline indices, helping Nifty close above 24,600. The Sensex ended flat at 80,539.91, while Bank Nifty underperformed, settling at 55,181.45, down 0.29%.
Global Market Cues
- US Markets: Overnight, Wall Street closed mixed as the Dow Jones extended gains, while Nasdaq was pressured by profit-booking in tech stocks ahead of inflation data.
- Asian Markets: Nikkei ended lower by 0.4%, Hang Seng slipped 0.6%, and Shanghai Composite remained subdued as traders weighed China’s latest stimulus announcements.
- European Markets: Opened marginally lower today as investors awaited Eurozone GDP data and ECB meeting minutes.
Overall, global sentiment remained cautious as traders monitored geopolitical developments and commodity price swings, especially in crude oil.

Analyst’s Take
Market experts believe the flat closing in Sensex despite Nifty’s marginal gain indicates an absence of strong directional bias ahead of key global events. With the US CPI data, ECB minutes, and India’s trade data lined up this week, volatility may remain elevated.
Sectors such as IT and FMCG may act as defensive bets if global risk sentiment deteriorates. Banking stocks could see profit-booking unless fresh triggers emerge from RBI commentary or loan growth data.
Outlook for 14 August 2025
- Nifty’s ability to sustain above 24,600 will be key for short-term momentum.
- Any slip below 24,540 could invite selling pressure towards 24,500–24,480 zones.
- Traders should keep an eye on global bond yields and currency movements for near-term cues.
