Indian equities are expected to remain volatile on Wednesday as strong domestic inflows clash with persistent FPI selling

Stock Market Today

Sensex Today: Indian stock markets ended marginally higher on July 30, supported by strong Q1 earnings from key companies such as L&T, NTPC, and Asian Paints. These stocks emerged as top gainers on the Sensex following the release of their financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

However, gains were capped as investors adopted a cautious stance amid lingering uncertainty over the India-US trade agreement and ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming monetary policy decision.

At the close of trade, the BSE Sensex rose 143.9 points, or 0.18%, to settle at 81,481.86, while the NSE Nifty50 edged up 34 points, or 0.14%, to end at 24,855.05.

In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap index slipped 0.07%, while the Nifty SmallCap index declined 0.52%, reflecting subdued investor sentiment in non-large-cap segments.

NSDL IPO Opens

Focus will also be on the primary markets, with the Rs 1,300 crore IPO of National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) opening for bidding. The company raised Rs 1,201 crore from anchor investors on Tuesday.

FPI Outflows Persist

FPIs offloaded Rs 4,636.6 crore worth of Indian equities on Tuesday — marking the seventh straight session of selling, NSE data showed.

Global Cues 

Asian stocks traded marginally higher after US-China trade talks ended without a breakthrough. South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.57%, China’s CSI 300 added 0.3%, and the MSCI Asia Pacific Index was up 0.13%.

On Wall Street, US indices closed in the red amid concerns over elevated valuations. The S&P 500 fell 0.3%, while the Nasdaq slipped 0.38%.

Crude Prices Climb

Crude oil prices rose to a one-month high after Trump issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia for a Ukraine ceasefire.
