Market Snapshot

IndexApprox CloseMove
BSE Sensex~81,350+700 pts (+0.9%)
Nifty 50~24,565+215 pts (+0.88%)
Bank Nifty~53,100+1.5% (strong PSU bank activity)

What moved the market today

  • PSU Banks rally: SBI, PNB and Bank of Baroda were among top contributors — sector strength was the primary catalyst.
  • Technical breakout: Nifty’s decisive move above 24,433 triggered short covering and momentum flows.
  • Volume confirmation: Higher volumes on up days suggest conviction behind the rebound, though follow-through will confirm sustainability.

Sector performance

Top gainers: PSU Banks, Auto, Metal, Select PSU & infra names.
Underperformers: IT and some export-linked Pharma names remained subdued on weak global cues.

Notable stock action

  • SBI: strong buying after favourable commentary on credit growth and lower slippage expectations.
  • PNB / Bank of Baroda: saw coordinated buying amid sector rotation into state banks.
  • Infosys / Wipro: muted after earnings guidance and global demand caution.

Expert take

Market commentators (including Anand James) noted that a sustained close above 24,433 opens space for short covering rallies toward 24,800. However, experts caution that global tariff headlines and FPI flows remain critical — any reversal in flows could reintroduce volatility.

Levels to watch (for 12 Aug 2025)

  • Immediate support: 24,350–24,433
  • Immediate resistance: 24,600–24,800
  • Key monitor: PSU bank volumes and FII net flows

Trading & investing note

For traders: prefer momentum confirmation on follow-through days and maintain tight stops in volatile names. For investors: selective accumulation in high-quality banks and infra names on dips may be considered, but maintain position sizing and risk controls given external macro risks.
