Market Euphoria: Sensex and Nifty Rebound with Conviction
Dalal Street witnessed a powerful resurgence on June 25, 2025, as the BSE Sensex jumped 550 points to close at 77,456.27, while the Nifty 50 climbed 165 points to settle at 23,515.40. This marked the second consecutive week of gains, with both indices posting their strongest weekly performance in four years.

The rally was underpinned by a confluence of positive factors: easing geopolitical tensions, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turning net buyers, and renewed optimism in India’s economic fundamentals. The US Federal Reserve’s reaffirmation of two potential rate cuts in 2025 further buoyed sentiment, weakening the dollar and making emerging markets like India more attractive.
Investor appetite was also fueled by falling US bond yields and a drop in crude oil prices, which eased inflationary concerns. The India VIX, a key volatility index, declined over 3%, signaling a more stable trading environment.
Sectoral Surge: IT, FMCG, and Auto Lead the Charge
The rally was broad-based, with all major sectoral indices closing in the green. Leading the charge were Nifty IT, FMCG, and Auto, each gaining over 1% as investors rotated into defensives and growth-oriented sectors.
- IT stocks, which initially opened lower due to global demand concerns, reversed losses and ended higher, buoyed by attractive valuations and a weaker rupee.
- FMCG stocks saw strong buying interest amid expectations of stable rural demand and easing input costs.
- Auto stocks continued their upward momentum, supported by robust sales data and optimism ahead of the festive season.
Among individual gainers, Titan Company, Nestle India, Tata Consumer Products, and Tech Mahindra posted gains between 2% and 3%. The Nifty Smallcap index also outperformed, rising over 1%, reflecting strong retail and institutional participation.
Outlook Ahead: Resistance Levels and Investor Strategy
From a technical standpoint, analysts are eyeing the 23,800 level on the Nifty as the next key resistance. A breakout above this could signal a sustained bullish trend. Support is seen near 23,200 and 23,050, offering a cushion for any short-term pullbacks.
Market experts caution that while the current momentum is strong, profit booking near resistance zones and global macro developments could introduce volatility. The upcoming HDB Financial IPO, RBI’s liquidity operations, and US Fed commentary will be closely watched.
Despite these caveats, the broader sentiment remains upbeat. India’s domestic economy continues to show signs of recovery, with government infrastructure spending rising sharply from ₹20,000 crore/month in mid-2024 to ₹90,000 crore/month by early 2025. This fiscal push, combined with easing monetary policy and improving corporate earnings, has made Indian equities increasingly attractive.
Conclusion:
June 25, 2025, will be remembered as a day when Dalal Street roared back to life. With the Sensex and Nifty reclaiming key psychological levels, investor confidence appears firmly restored. While global uncertainties persist, India’s market resilience, sectoral strength, and foreign investor interest suggest that the bulls may just be getting started.
