Stock Market Live Updates: Nifty Chases 25,700 Mark; Sensex Jumps 340 Pts; Broad Market Stays Strong
Today, August 4, 2025, the Indian stock market began the day on a good note, although a cautious start was predicted because of conflicting global cues and lingering worries over US tariffs. While the Nifty rose close to 24,600, the Sensex opened about 165 points higher. This opening follows the Nifty 50's fifth straight weekly loss on Friday, August 1st, when both benchmark indices closed the day significantly down. Globally, Asian markets saw a broader decline due to fresh tariff worries and bumped economic strain in the United States, which pushed the scales in favor of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
In light of demand issues and ongoing policy uncertainty, the industries that suffered the most from the India-US trade pact were pharmaceuticals, metals, and real estate. As a result, markets will be keenly monitoring events around the accord starting this week. As market watchers await the Q1FY26 results from flagship companies like Bharti Airtel, DLF, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors, SBI, and LIC of India, the spotlight will be on the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy meeting on August 8 and ongoing corporate earnings.

The new portfolio (1/4th of consolidated revenue) in India and internationally is aligning with consumer needs, enhancing longevity of growth. In India, the new-age portfolio in food and digital brands accounts for 22% of revenue,” noted Emkay Global Research.

Stock Market Live: Delhivery shares rallied around 6% during the Monday’s intraday trade after the company announced Q1 result. Emkay Global Research has retained a buy rating for the stock. “ Baking in the Ecom acquisition from Q2, we increase overall revenue by 5%/7% for FY26E/27E, respectively, as we expect the B2C segment to deliver 19% revenue CAGR over FY25-28E. While integration costs would impact profitability in FY26, the management target of reaching 17-18% service EBITDAM in FY26 (B2C) should bode well for the margin trajectory ahead. We maintain BUY on the stock and revise up Jun26E TP of Rs450 (by 10% from Rs410; DCF methodology),” noted the brokerage.

Stock Market Live: Trump Tariffs Mar Investors' Sentiment
Stock Market Live: "Newly announced US tariff of 25% on Indian exports marred investor sentiment. While the tariff tussle might create some additional volatility, we see that the market has broadly discounted this and going forward see limited impact. RBI is expected to hold the rates steady, but there could be a 25bps rate cut as the current inflation is at the lower end of the target range. We continue to see growth and valuation comfort in Private and PSU Banks, Power, Business Services and select infra-EPC and logistics names,” said Ashwini Shami, President and Chief Portfolio Manager at OmniScience Capital.
Stock Market Live: Maruti Suzuki India Shares Surge After Q1 Result; Check Target Price
Stock Market Live: Marti Suzuki India shares were in green, days after the automaker announced Q1 result. "MSIL reported a ~6%/5% beat vs consensus on revenue/EBITDA, led by an 8% QoQ growth in ASPs due to a better product mix. EBIT margin declined by 40bps QoQ to 8%, impacted by several push-pull factors, including costs related to the Kharkhoda plant, higher staff expenses, and operating deleverage—partly offset by lower marketing spends and reversal of lumpy expenses seen in Q4. MSIL highlighted that demand remains subdued; however, it is hopeful of an improvement in Q2, led by festive and monsoon-related factors. The upcoming electric SUV, E-Vitara, and a new ICE SUV launch this year are likely to support performance, even as exports remain strong (~47% market share in Q1). We continue to prefer MSIL for better visibility on new ICE launches compared to the broader industry, where most incremental launches are in EVs. Valuation near 1SD below LTA also provides comfort. We slightly raise FY26E/27E EPS and build in a 10% EPS CAGR over FY25–28E. We maintain BUY with a revised TP of Rs14,300, based on 25x core Jun-27E EPS + ~Rs2,850 cash/share," noted Emkay Global in its report.

Stock Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
In the near-term the market is in unchartered territory. A clear direction will emerge on news surrounding the US-India trade deal happening after the next round of trade negotiations. A deal with a tariff of 20% or below will be positive from the market perspective. If this doesn’t happen, and the 25% tariff remains, the market is likely to drift down since it will impact India’s growth and corporate earnings making it difficult to justify the current elevated valuations. From the global market perspective, indications are that a rate cut from the Fed in the September FOMC meeting is likely after the latest jobs report indicating declines in job additions in July and downward revisions in the jobs created in May and June. Clearly, the U.S. economy is slowing down and Fed is likely to respond with a rate cut in September. With the inflationary impact of the tariffs kicking in, a stagflationnary scenario for the US cannot be ruled out. The market will respond to incoming data and evolving outlook.
Bank Nifty Outlook By Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited
The Bank Nifty exhibited weakness, declining nearly 344 points and closing in the red for the fifth consecutive week which indicating that selling pressure remains active. Key support levels are now placed at 55,400, followed by 55,150 and 55,000. Sustaining above these levels could offer room for a mild recovery, while immediate resistance is seen in the 55,700–55,800 zone. A breakout above this band may trigger a rally toward the psychological 56,000 level.
Nifty Outlook By Hardik Matalia, Derivative Analyst - Research at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited.
On the technical front, the Nifty has breached its 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), with the next major support located near the 200-day EMA at 24,180, followed by the psychological level of 24,000. Conversely, if the index manages to reclaim the 24,750 level, a short-term rebound toward the 25,250–25,500 zone cannot be ruled out. However, persistent volatility and visible resistance near key option strikes suggest continued overhead supply pressure.
Result Report Q1 FY26: Greenply Industries-Sluggish performance from Plywood segment; MDF margins improve- retain as our TOP-PICK!
“Overall we expect Revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of 13%/26%/57% over FY25-FY27E. We have factored in losses from JV to be ~Rs200Mn for this fiscal and the same to break-even in FY27E. We maintain our EPS estimates for FY26E/FY27E at Rs12.6/Rs18.5 respectively and continue to value the company at P/E(x) of 25x on FY27E EPS, maintaining our target price of Rs462. Hence, we retain GREENPLY INDUSTRIES LTD as our TOP-BUY from the segment,” said YES SECURITIES in a report.
Bearish Overhang Deepens: Why Bank Nifty Faces More Downside Risk
“The Nifty Bank index is firmly entrenched in bearish territory, having breached key supports while facing resistance at progressively lower levels. Market structure remains fragile, with buyers on the back foot and derivative data showing a clear tilt toward bearish positioning. The migration of put writers to lower strikes signals growing pessimism, while aggressive call writing reinforces downside expectations. In the current environment, minor rallies are best viewed as opportunities for shorting rather than anticipating a sustainable recovery. A reversal in sentiment is unlikely until FPIs begin to unwind their short positions and resume cash-market inflows. Until then, supply at higher levels will continue to cap any meaningful upside, keeping the index vulnerable to further weakness,” commented Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.
FPIs Hold the Key: Until Short Covering Starts, Nifty Remains Structurally Weak
“The Nifty remains firmly under bearish control, with key support levels giving way and resistance zones steadily shifting downward. Buyer participation appears to be weakening, while put writers are adjusting their positions lower — both are the signs of deteriorating sentiment. On the flip side, call writers continue to dominate, building significant positions at higher levels. As long as FPIs do not begin covering their short positions in futures and increase buying in the cash segment, any minor rally is likely to be short-lived and met with selling pressure. In the current setup, the Nifty remains structurally weak, and any bounce should be viewed as an opportunity to initiate fresh short positions rather than adopting a buy-on-dips strategy,” said Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.
Bank Nifty Derivatives Highlights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The F&O space continues to indicate a cautious stance among participants. Substantial call writing was observed at the 57,000 strike, where open interest rose to 20.91 lakh contracts, making it a formidable resistance. Conversely, the 55,000 strike holds the highest put open interest at 8.12 lakh contracts, indicating a key support level in the near term. Interestingly, put writers have begun shifting to lower strikes, indicating diminishing bullish conviction. On the other hand, call writers remain firmly in control, aggressively adding positions at higher levels. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) continues to hover around 0.86, reflecting a buildup of call-side positions and a limited upside potential due to persistent overhead supply.
Nifty Derivatives Highlights By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The F&O landscape continues to reflect a defensive undertone. Heavy call writing has emerged at the 25,000 strike, where open interest has surged to 1.01 crore contracts, establishing a firm resistance ceiling. Conversely, the highest put open interest lies at the 24,200 strike, with 62.93 lakh contracts, confirming it as an immediate support level. Interestingly, put writers are now shifting to lower strike prices, reflecting waning confidence among bulls. In contrast, aggressive call writing at higher levels underscores sustained overhead supply. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) has dropped sharply from 0.90 to 0.57, highlighting heavy call-side positioning. Although the PCR is now near oversold territory — hinting at a possible short-term pullback — broader sentiment remains cautious.
Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Historically, the 55,500–55,700 zone has acted as a strong demand base that often triggered sharp reversals. However, the current price action shows no signs of a bullish turnaround, with the index continuing to trade in a structurally weak zone. Resistance levels are progressively moving lower, and support zones are losing strength, reflecting an increasingly vulnerable setup. The index remains below its short-term moving averages, creating a confluence of resistance near the 56,800–57,000 levels. Technically, the index has been rejecting the 50-day exponential moving average (50-DEMA) on every minor bounce. A decisive break-down below Friday’s low of 55,562–55,500 could intensify selling and drag the index toward the next support band of 55,000–54,900. Unless the index convincingly surpasses its overhead resistance zones, any upward movement is likely to face stiff supply and fade quickly. On the momentum front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped below the 40-mark, suggesting a firm bearish hold. With no fresh positive triggers in sight, the onus is now on Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). A reversal may only occur if FPIs begin covering their short positions in index futures, as the long-short ratio is nearing oversold territory.
Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Price action remains fragile, with the index slipping below its immediate support of 24,600. Historically, the 24,500–24,550 band has acted as a strong reversal base, but this time, no meaningful reversal signals have emerged yet, keeping the bias tilted firmly to the downside. Resistance levels are steadily drifting lower, while support zones are thinning out. The index now trades below its short-term moving averages, creating a confluence of resistances near the 24,750–24,800 zone. Notably, Nifty has closed below its 100-day exponential moving average (100-DEMA), which had been a reliable support. A decisive break down below 24,535–24,500 may trigger further downside towards the next support region of 24,300–24,250. Unless the index convincingly reclaims its overhead resistances, any short-lived rallies are likely to face selling pressure. With most key triggers now priced in, the market appears to be gearing up for a directional move. On the momentum front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dipped below the 40 mark, reflecting a firm bearish hold. The final cue now lies with Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) — a potential short-covering rally from their end could be the only catalyst for a rebound, as their long-short ratio hovers near oversold territory.
