Indian Stock Market Pre-Market Report – 08 August 2025
Global Sentiment Muted, Focus on Key Breakout Stocks & Index Range
As we step into the midweek session, the Indian equity market continues to showcase a tug-of-war between global uncertainty and local resilience. On 07 August 2025, the domestic indices ended on a slightly positive note, maintaining their overall range-bound structure.
- Nifty 50 closed at 24,596.15, marginally higher by 21.95 points
- Bank Nifty ended at 55,521.15, up by 110 points
- Sensex gained 79.27 points to close at 80,623.26
- Fin Nifty closed at 26,403.90, reflecting moderate sectoral churn
GIFT Nifty Signals Flat to Slightly Negative Start
The Gift Nifty is trading mildly in the red, indicating a flat to slightly negative opening. Overnight global cues remain cautious as:
- US markets ended with mixed results. The Nasdaq saw mild profit booking, while Dow Jones remained largely flat.
- Crude oil remains elevated near $86/barrel, which could keep oil-sensitive stocks under watch.
- The Dollar Index remains stable around 102.45, while India VIX continues to hover below 12, indicating subdued volatility—yet a potential setup for sudden sharp moves.
