Indian Stock Market Outlook: Sensex and Nifty 50 Expected to Open Cautiously Amid Global Weakness
The Indian stock market’s key benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to begin trading on a subdued note on February 25, 2025. This cautious opening is anticipated due to prevailing weakness in global markets, which is likely to influence investor sentiment domestically.
According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, the current market environment remains weak. However, he also pointed out that the market appears to be in an oversold condition, raising the possibility of a short-term pullback rally.
Chouhan highlighted that the 74,900 level on the Sensex will be a crucial trend-deciding point for traders. If the Sensex continues to trade below this threshold, bearish sentiment is likely to persist, with the potential for the index to decline further toward the 74,000 to 73,800 range. On the other hand, a move above 74,900 could trigger a rebound, with the index potentially climbing back to the 75,200 to 75,500 levels.
This analysis offers traders key levels to monitor as the market reacts to both domestic developments and global economic trends.
Indian Stock Market Update: Gift Nifty Signals a Muted Opening as Benchmark Indices Face Pressure
Early indicators suggest a subdued start for the Indian stock market, with trends on the Gift Nifty pointing toward a cautious opening. The index was trading around the 22,595.00 level, reflecting a slight discount of approximately 17 points compared to the previous close of Nifty futures. This signals potential hesitation among investors following recent market volatility.
On February 24, 2025, the domestic equity market witnessed a sharp decline, as both major benchmark indices ended the session significantly lower. The Sensex experienced a steep fall, plunging by 856.65 points (a decline of 1.14%) to close at 74,454.41. Similarly, the Nifty 50 also came under pressure, slipping below the psychological 22,600 mark. It ended the day down by 242.55 points (a loss of 1.06%) to settle at 22,553.35.
The declines reflect broader market weakness, driven by global uncertainties and cautious investor sentiment. As trading resumes, market participants will closely monitor global cues and key support levels for signs of potential recovery or further downside movement.
