Indian stock market today July 15 2025 saw a strong rebound, snapping a four-day losing streak. Sensex jumped over 300 points to close at 83570, and the Nifty 50 finished near the 25200 mark at 25195. Bulls returned amid broad-based buying spurred by positive global sentiment and easing retail inflation, boosting key benchmarks through the session. Both the Sensex and Nifty closed at session highs, reflecting sustained investor demand. The Nifty also recovered earlier losses, climbing 114 points for the day, while the rupee strengthened against the US dollar, closing at 85.81. Midcap stocks outperformed, with the advance-decline ratio a healthy 2:1, indicating buying across broader markets.

Sector Performance Highlights
Banking stocks rallied, contributing to the broader uptrend. Both Nifty Bank and PSU Bank indices ended higher, building on previous sessions’ gains. Financial services stocks also saw renewed buying interest after a brief period of weakness.

The IT sector snapped its four-day losing streak, aided by partial recovery in large tech stocks. HCLTech, however, was among the laggards, falling over 3% as it trimmed FY26 margin guidance. The broader IT index closed positive, suggesting stabilization after recent volatility.

FII DII Net Flows
Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) were net buyers, supporting the upward move across indices. Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) remained net buyers as well, providing additional stability during intraday volatility. Exact figures for July 15 2025 are not reported in the context, but recent sessions have shown net positive inflows from both FIIs and DIIs, fueling the broad-based rally.

Key Macro-Economic & Global Drivers
Easing inflation with consumer inflation moderating in June calmed fears of aggressive rate hikes. Firm global cues included Asian markets rising after better-than-expected China Q2 GDP, adding to risk appetite. Continued positive FII DII action underpinned the rally. Rupee appreciated by 18 paise vs. USD, reflecting improving macro stability. Auto and pharma sectors benefited from corporate results and product launches, like Sun Pharma’s new US drug and Hero MotoCorp’s expansion. Investors are also closely watching the anticipation of an India-US trade deal which could further stimulate trade and investment.

What to Watch Next
Upcoming corporate Q1FY26 earnings will shape sector leads, especially in banking and IT. US policy and global growth developments, including moves on tariffs and India-US trade talks, could drive volatility. Sustained foreign and domestic institutional flows will be essential for further gains. Important macro indicators to observe include the rupee, inflation prints, and RBI policy updates. After broad-based buying, focus may shift to sectors still underperforming.
