Sensex Nifty Live Updates July 1: Indices Close Marginally Higher Amid Mixed Global Cues

Indian benchmarks ended on a muted note on Tuesday, with the Nifty 50 inching up 0.10% to close at 25,541, while the Sensex gained 0.11% to settle at 83,697. Strength in healthcare, defence, and energy stocks—led by Apollo Hospitals, Bharat Electronics, and Reliance—helped offset losses in FMCG and banking counters like Nestle and Axis Bank. Globally, sentiment remained cautious. The Nikkei and Hang Seng ended in the red, while the Shanghai Composite edged higher. European markets were trading lower mid-session, and U.S. futures pointed to a possibly weak start on Wall Street.

Stock Market Highlights, July 1:

• Domestic Indices Edge Higher: Nifty 50 closed at 25,541 (+0.10%) and Sensex at 83,697 (+0.11%), supported by gains in healthcare, defense, and energy stocks.
• Top Movers: Apollo Hospitals (+3.51%) and Bharat Electronics (+2.55%) led the gainers, while Nestle (‑2.24%) and Axis Bank (‑2.16%) were among the top losers.
• Global Sentiment Mixed: Asian markets ended mostly lower, with Nikkei down 1.24%. European indices were weak mid-session, and U.S. futures indicated a possibly cautious start.

Stock Market Outlook for July 1:

• Mild Positive Bias on Opening: Gift Nifty is up 0.19% and Nifty opened 0.13% higher at 25,551, indicating a slightly positive start. However, max pain at 25,500 suggests limited upside as options data shows traders positioning near this level.
• Mixed Global Cues: U.S. markets closed in the green, with the Dow Jones up 0.63% and Nasdaq rising 0.47%, offering support to sentiment. However, Asian markets are trading lower, with Nikkei and Hang Seng down over 1%, which may cap gains.
• Cautious Undertone Despite FII Sell-off: FIIs were net sellers at ₹831 crore, while DIIs supported the market with ₹3,497 crore in net buying. Nifty PCR at 0.74 indicates bearish undertones, but stable crude prices and easing bond yields may provide some relief.
