5 August, 2025 : Indian Stock Market LIVE – Market narrow losses before closing

Trump’s comments on India has pushed the GIFT Nifty into volatility. Tuesday market openned gap down. Monday got gains in the market in the odds of 0.50% among benchmark indices. FII selling continues, Q1 results are mixed and DII, as usual boost the recovery with their recharges. 

The Indian share market opened today in a cautious and flat mood despite mixed global and domestic leads. Gift Nifty indicated a mildly favourable opening initially but ongoing nervousness over US-India trade tensions and hopes surrounding the current Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee meeting left participants on tenterhooks. The last session witnessed both the Sensex and Nifty 50 regain losses of recent times to close 0.5% higher as metal and export-oriented stocks gained on a weakening rupee and positive Asian cues.

Today, investors are keeping an eye on the top earnings reports of Bharti Airtel and Adani Ports, and significant updates from the likes of IndusInd Bank after the change in leadership. Technical charts of the Nifty 50 indicate near-term resistance at 24,787–24,954, and support near 24,539–24,380, providing traders with narrow levels to watch. A fall in India VIX indicates comparatively stable sentiment, though continued threats of tariffs from the US continue to remain overhang for market optimism.

The wider Asian markets are in the green to provide some support, but it will depend on the policy direction of the RBI and subsequent global events. With the focus going back onto high-volatility export industries and major earnings, investors should look forward to a session dominated by big headlines and judicious stock selection.
