Stock Market Highlights: Sensex settles marginally higher after volatile session, Nifty holds 24,600
14 Aug 2025 | 08:02:28 PM IST
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended marginally higher on Thursday.
Synopsis
Indian benchmark indices closed higher on Thursday, breaking a six-week losing run driven by trade tensions and muted quarterly earnings, with gains in Infosys after it agreed to buy a stake in Australia’s Versent Group. Investor caution persisted ahead of Russia-U.S. talks on the Ukraine war in a holiday-shortened week.
The BSE Sensex added 57.75 points, or 0.07%, to close at 80,597.66, while the broader NSE Nifty 50 rose 11.95 points, or 0.05%, to end at 24,631.30. Both indexes gained about 1% this week, snapping their six-week slide. Broader markets also advanced, with small-cap stocks up 0.7% and mid-caps gaining 0.9%.
Pharmaceutical and IT companies, which draw a significant portion of their revenue from the U.S., rose 3.5% and 1.3%, respectively, buoyed by the extension of the U.S.–China tariff truce and softer U.S. inflation data.
Among individual movers, Apollo Hospitals surged 10.4% for the week, its strongest performance in nearly four years, after posting robust quarterly earnings.
Indian markets will be closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday.

After a volatile weekly expiry-day session, Indian equities ended flat as investors traded cautiously ahead of the US-Russia summit. IT and pharma stocks advanced on the back of a softer US inflation data and dovish outlook. Banking and consumer durables also gained on hopes of a consumption-led recovery. However, weakness was seen in metals and energy indices due to falling commodity prices and over supply concerns. S&P’s upgrade of India’s credit rating and its stable outlook, citing strong policy continuity and infrastructure-led growth is likely to support the domestic market. In the near-term, the market is expected to trade in a tight range with a mixed bias looking forward to upcoming geopolitical meets.

Cryptocurrency Updates | Bitcoin has rocketed to a fresh all-time high, surging past $124,000
Bitcoin surged past $124,000 for the first time, setting a new all-time high before easing to $123,868. The rally was fueled by strong institutional demand and growing expectations of a September interest rate cut, with CME FedWatch now showing a 93.7% probability. Softer-than-expected U.S. CPI data at 2.7% y/y boosted optimism, though a core inflation uptick to 3.1% could keep the Fed cautious. Ethereum also climbed near its 2021 peak, trading at $4,717. Institutional inflows remain a key driver BTC ETFs added over $3.6 billion in the past month, while corporate and sovereign treasuries now hold 3.64 million BTC, or 17% of supply. The markets may experience consolidation between $120K and $125K, but strong structural demand and limited supply will support further gains through the end of the year.

Though yesterday's upswing also stalled after reaching 24,670, the positioning of the oscillators as well as the reversal patterns that are about to mature in shorter periodicities encourage us to stick with the upside view. This keeps the 24850-25000-25200 objectives still in play. However, slippage past 24540 today might force us abandon the upswing hopes, though a direct fall to 24000 looks less likely today.
