📈 Market Overview:

Summary of the Day's Market Performance

Market Overview

  • The Sensex fell 46.14 points (-0.06%) to close at 80,242.24 in a volatile session.

  • The Nifty dropped 1.75 points (-0.01%) to 24,334.20, ending nearly flat.

  • Midcap index fell 0.7%, and Smallcap index shed 1.7%, showing broader weakness.

  • Realty (+2%) and Telecom (+1%) gained, while Media, PSU Bank (-2% each), IT, Bank, Consumer Durables, and Capital Goods (-0.5% each) declined.

💸 Market Transactions:

  • Foreign Institutional Investors (FII): Bought ₹50.57 crore

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹1,792.15 crore

Strong DII inflows offset limited FII buying, stabilising the market despite volatility.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • The market ended a strong month (up significantly, exact data pending) on a cautious note, driven by reduced tariff risks and hopes of a US-India trade deal, supported by robust FII inflows. However, rising India-Pakistan tensions and muted Q4 results capped momentum.

  • The long-term outlook remains positive due to minimal financial impact from the conflict, with any consolidation seen as a buying opportunity. Geopolitical risks and earnings disappointments may sustain near-term negativity, while the RBI’s 6.00% repo rate and low inflation (March CPI at a 5-year low) offer support.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

April 2025 marked the Nifty’s best monthly performance since December 2024, gaining over 6%, fueled by tariff relief and FII flows, despite the late-week dip.

The week of April 28-May 2, 2025, begins with India’s market cautious after a dip triggered by India-Pakistan tensions, though US-China tariff de-escalation offers a silver lining with continued FII buying. Muted Q4 earnings temper optimism, but Nifty’s bullish stance above 24,000 suggests dip-buying potential. Key data like India’s manufacturing PMI, US jobless claims, and Euro Area GDP will guide sentiment, alongside Ather Energy’s IPO debut. Opportunities lie in IT, banking, and industrial stocks, with global cues and geopolitical developments in focus.

  • Ambuja Cements: Strong Q4 may sustain gains.

  • Go Fashion India: Retail strength to watch.

  • SBI: Fundraising plans to monitor.

  • Blue Jet Healthcare: Motilal Oswal initiated coverage, praising its niche medico contributions.

📝Summary:

Indian markets ended marginally lower, with Nifty at 24,334, as volatility persisted amid India-Pakistan tensions and muted Q4 results. Realty and Telecom gained, while Smallcaps lagged. DII buying cushioned FII inflows, but near-term consolidation looms—view dips as opportunities with a positive long-term outlook!
