Pre-Market Report – 30th September 2025
The Indian stock market continues to remain in consolidation mode with bearish undertones, as indices ended weaker on 29th September 2025. The closing levels were:
- Nifty 50: 24,634.90
- Bank Nifty: 54,461.00
- Sensex: 80,364.94
- Fin Nifty: 26,007.00
The market has already seen a heavy correction in September, with Nifty slipping nearly 800–900 points from its highs. As we approach the end of the month and quarter, traders are eyeing short-covering moves, sectoral rotation, and RBI policy cues (scheduled for 1st October, Wednesday).
Gift Nifty this morning indicates a mildly positive open, suggesting that the market may attempt stability after last week’s volatility.
🌍 Global Market Cues
- US Markets: Wall Street ended mixed. Dow held steady, while Nasdaq slipped further due to profit-booking in tech stocks. Bond yields remain firm, capping upside momentum.
- Europe: European indices ended marginally higher; energy shares gained on expectations of higher fuel demand.
- Asia: Asian equities opened cautiously; Nikkei and Straits Times trade in green, Hang Seng remains weak.
- Crude Oil: Brent crude trades around $86.2/barrel, a crucial factor for Indian OMCs (Oil Marketing Companies).
- Gold: Spot gold stable at $2,048/oz, showing safe-haven interest.
- Dollar Index: Hovering near 105.8, keeping currency markets steady.
Takeaway: Global sentiment remains cautious but stable. Crude oil’s resilience is key, as it directly impacts HPCL, BPCL, and IOC.
