Indian Stock Market Update – August 7, 2025
Benchmarks Trade Lower Amid Global Weakness; IT, MidCaps Offer Some Support
Market Mood: Cautious Yet Selective Buying
As of mid-session on Thursday, August 7, 2025, Indian equity benchmarks were trading on a weak note. Global cues, profit-booking in large-cap stocks, and subdued investor sentiment following tariff concerns between leading economies contributed to the cautious mood. The Nifty 50 was seen hovering below 24,500, and the Sensex remained subdued under the 80,300 level.
Investors rotated funds into midcaps, FMCG, and pharma sectors, while autos, banks, and metals came under pressure. Intraday activity was largely driven by sectoral rotation and stock-specific news.
