Stock Market Current Status: Sensex Increases by 145 Points, Nifty Sits Above 24,630
Indian Stock Market Rebounds on August 4, 2025
The Indian stock market experienced a positive rebound on August 4, 2025, with the Nifty 50 index closing up 0.64% at 24,722.75 and the BSE Sensex rising 0.52% to 81,018.72.
The rally was driven by strong sectoral performances, particularly in Metals, IT, and Automotive, supported by investor optimism ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. Domestic institutional investors also provided robust support amid ongoing global uncertainties and concerns about US tariffs.
The Nifty 50 index traded between 24,400 and 24,950, with a sustained close above 24,500 necessary to prevent a slide towards 24,000 or even 23,800. The BSE Sensex traded between 80,685.30 and 81,192.10, reflecting cautious optimism.
Key factors driving the market included anticipation of a dovish RBI MPC stance, strong buying interest in metals, IT, and auto sectors, improved global cues and a softer US dollar benefitting export-linked and commodity sectors, and robust domestic institutional investor support.
This rebound came after a challenging prior week marked by five consecutive weekly losses and selling pressure especially from foreign investors. The coming week is likely to see high market volatility due to updates on US trade policies, RBI policy decisions, and the ongoing earnings season.
India raised $6.7 billion in IPOs in the first half of 2025, marking a 25% increase over last year. Gujarat leads in IPO listings in Q1 FY26, while Delhi tops in funds raised in Q1 FY26. Upcoming IPOs from PhonePe, Meesho, Groww, and Lenskart are expected to sustain momentum in the primary market.
