7 August, 2025 : Indian Stock Market LIVE – The Recovery is here! Markets close green.

Hello, Namaste!

Welcome to our live coverage as the Indian stock markets prepare to open on August 7, 2025. Yesterday’s session saw the Sensex close modestly negative, down 166 points (0.21%) at 80,543.99, while the Nifty50 slipped 75 points (0.31%) to end at 24,574.20, as investors digested the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision to hold the repo rate steady at 5.50%. The MPC maintained its neutral stance and reaffirmed GDP growth expectations at 6.5% for FY26, though it surprised some by sharply lowering the FY26 inflation forecast to 3.1% amidst cooling food prices and a favorable monsoon. 

However, the tone was subdued due to global uncertainty. Renewed turmoil abroad, including President Trump’s aggressive move to hike tariffs on Indian exports to a steep 50%, has rattled investor sentiment worldwide and weighed especially hard on sectors like textiles, with stocks such as Gokaldas Exports and peers under pressure. Meanwhile, IT and pharma shares led domestic declines, reflecting broader global volatility and export-related worries.

Gainers from Wednesday included Asian Paints (+1.94%), HDFC Life (+1.88%), and M&M (+0.87%), while laggards were led by Wipro (-2.50%), Sun Pharma (-2.37%), and Jio Financial (-2.06%). Tech Mahindra and IndusInd Bank also saw notable drops. All eyes remain on global cues, export-oriented sectors, and today’s key earnings announcements as markets navigate this climate of rising protectionism and persistent international uncertainty.
