Stock Market Today: Desi Bulls Take a Breather as Gloom Looms
Good morning, traders. If you were hoping for a Tuesday turnaround after Monday’s meh market mood — brace yourself. Dalal Street seems to have misplaced its mojo somewhere between global uncertainty and domestic indecision.
Yesterday was, in one word: underwhelming. The Nifty barely moved, clinging to that 25,461 mark like it was holding on for dear life. The Sensex closed at 83,432.89.
The big elephant in the room? Clarity. Or the lack of it. The much-hyped India–US trade deal is still hanging in limbo. And while Trump’s tariff threats have made headlines (again), India’s absence from his list of targeted countries offers no real sense of direction , just more waiting.
To add to the low energy: it’s Sensex weekly expiry, which usually brings volatility. But right now? Even that feels muted.
The mood today:
- The bulls are tired, the bears aren’t bold, and everyone else is just watching.
- Index action is dull, but stock-specific plays may offer some daylight.
- Global cues are foggy, and domestic sentiment is walking on eggshells.
So what’s the move?
Stay cautious. Pick your trades like you pick your battles — wisely, and only when the setup’s right. The market’s not in a hurry, and neither should you be.
Some days the market sings. Other days, it just sighs.
Let’s see what Tuesday brings!!!
Market In Pre Opening Session: Markets Set To Open Flat
In the pre-opening session today, the market seems to be catching its breath. The Gift Nifty is currently hovering around 25,508.50, up 33 points, showing a flicker of green as we head into the day- pointing to a flat to mildly positive start for the benchmark indices. Not exactly a party, but not a panic either.
Global cues remain wobbly, with fresh tariff chatter from Donald Trump adding to the mix of uncertainty. That’s keeping early sentiment in check. But don’t get lulled by the calm- we’ve seen it time and again: a sleepy open can turn into a sprint once the bell rings.
Keep your setups tight, your watchlist ready, and your emotions cooler than your screen’s backlight. Today could be one of those slow burners.
Stock Market Opening Bell
The Indian Stock Market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty opened with a flat start (9:20 AM). Nifty at 25,465.30 with +4.00 points, Whereas Sensex opened at 83,433.39 with −9.11 from previous session.
Global tariff talk and Trump’s tariff shocks are rattling markets, but the Indian share bazaar isn’t losing sleep. While others sweat, Dalal Street’s showing some serious resilience—steady, calm, and ready to dance through the storm. Looks like the bulls have packed their raincoats and aren’t backing down anytime soon.
