India Pre‑Market Outlook – June 25, 2025
Updated Early Morning: GIFT Nifty futures suggest a positive opening, hinting at gains above previous close levels.
📈 Nifty & Sensex Futures
As of ~7:45 AM IST, GIFT Nifty futures are trading near 25,180–25,190, signalling a potential 130–150‑point rise from the previous close of 25,044.35 1. Similarly, Sensex futures show optimism after closing strong at 82,055.11 (+158 points) 2.
This suggests the domestic indices may open higher, with analysts warning of initial profit booking followed by consolidation within a broad range of 25,000–25,300 for Nifty 3.
🌐 Global Market Cues
Positive global sentiment is driving Asia and US futures higher. Renewed hope of a ceasefire between Israel & Iran has eased geopolitical tension, pushing the MSCI world index to multi‑year highs 4. S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are up ~1%, while Asian markets trade mixed to positive 5.
Crude oil prices have eased after earlier spikes, relieving some pressure on India's oil‑import-dependent economy 6. The USD/INR pair recovered slightly with the Rupee strengthening to ~₹85.97 7.
🎯 Domestic Institutional Activity
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) were net sellers of ~₹5,266 crore on Tuesday, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) net bought about ₹5,209 crore 8. Despite FPI outflows, DII inflows are sustaining market momentum.
In derivatives, FIIs swung from a small net short position (~₹1 crore) to a large short (~₹1.09 lakh crore) 9—a potential signal of impending volatility.
