Sensex snaps 4-day rally, Nifty ends unchanged in volatile trade
Benchmark BSE Sensex closed lower by 53 points in a volatile trade on Tuesday (June 10, 2025), snapping its four-day winning run due to profit-taking in banking and energy shares.
The 30-share Sensex declined by 53.49 points or 0.06% to settle at 82,391.72 with 14 of its constituents closing lower, 15 with gains and one remaining unchanged.
The index opened higher and climbed further 235.58 points or 0.28% to 82,680.79 in morning trade. However, the barometer pared gains later due to profit-taking in index major Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. It dropped by 204.81 points or 0.24% to hit a low of 82,240.40 during the day.
The 50-share NSE Nifty eked out gains of 1.05 points to end at 25,104.25, marking its fifth straight day of gains.
In the past four days, the Nifty has jumped over 560 points or 2.27% while the Sensex rallied 1,707.7 points or 2.11%.
'Markets traded in a lacklustre manner and ended almost unchanged, taking a breather after the recent surge. Participants remain slightly cautious amid mixed global cues, and the divergent trend among index heavyweights continues to weigh on overall sentiment,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.
Among Sensex firms, Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, Tata Steel, Bajaj Finserv, ICICI Bank, Maruti, Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and Mahindra & Mahindra declined.
Tech Mahindra, Tata Motors, Infosys, HCL Tech, IndusInd Bank and UltraTech Cement were among the gainers.
Investors await the outcome of the U.S.-China trade talks held in London.
Meanwhile, the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data showed that net inflows into equity mutual funds declined by 21.66% to hit a 12-month low of ₹19,013.12 crore in May.
This was the fifth consecutive month of decline in inflow in equity funds. Also, the latest fund infusion by investors marks the 51st consecutive month of net inflows into the segment.
'The Indian equity markets remained muted throughout May 2025, weighed down by a confluence of geopolitical concerns, profit-booking, and market consolidation. After a robust performance in the preceding months, elevated stock valuations prompted investors to take a cautious stance, resulting in a noticeable slowdown in equity inflows,' Viraj Gandhi, CEO, SAMCO Mutual Fund, said.
In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei 225 index settled in the positive territory while Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended marginally lower. European markets were trading on a mixed note.
U.S. markets ended mostly higher on Monday (June 9, 2025).
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹1,992.87 crore on Monday (June 9, 2025), according to exchange data.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.39% to $67.19 a barrel.

'Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge': Karnataka Deputy CM's epic take on rumours of buying franchise
Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on Wednesday shut down rumours about him buying the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise in epic fashion. His statement came a day after RCB owners, Diageo India — the Indian arm of UK-based Diageo Plc — responded to speculation that part or all of the IPL franchise was up for sale "I am not a mad man. I'm just a member of the Karnataka Cricket Association from my younger days, that's all. I don't have time, though I had offers to be part of the management... Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge," Shivakumar told news agency ANI. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report said that the British distiller was in discussion with potential advisers on selling the club. Diageo owns the team through its Indian unit, United Spirits Ltd., and may seek a valuation of as much as $2 billion. Following the rumours, the shares of United Spirits, registered with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), gained a 3.3 per cent increase in its price, this hitting a five-month high on Tuesday morning. This forced the BSE to sent out a mail to Diageo, who then responded saying the reports were merely speculative in nature. Mital Sanghvi, the company secretary, informed the regulating body of the Indian Stock Market on the mail saying, "The company would like to clarify that the aforesaid media reports are speculative in nature and it is not pursuing any such discussion. This is for your information and records."

Gautam Adani visits Chinese equipment makers as US legal woes linger
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani traveled to China last week to meet industrial equipment manufacturers, marking what appears to be his first overseas trip since the US unveiled criminal and civil cases against him in November. The visit, including to a solar module maker, underscores Adani's continued efforts to maintain momentum in renewables even as he faces heightened scrutiny abroad. Sagar Adani , who oversees the green arm of the conglomerate's sprawling empire, accompanied his uncle on the trip, according to a social media post by one of the companies he visited. The trip to China could signal a renewed push for international engagement as Gautam Adani tries to shake off controversies, from US legal troubles to investor concerns about corporate governance practices, following a bruising short-seller report in early 2023. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Prices of Solar Panels Might Actually Surprise You Solar Panels | Search Ads Get Info Asia's second-richest person, along with his nephew Sagar, face criminal and civil charges in the US over their alleged involvement in a $250 million bribery scheme to pay regional officials in India to lock in solar-power contracts. — BROAD_ltd (@BROAD_ltd) Live Events The Adani Group has denied the claims, though both Gautam and Sagar have curtailed their international travel since the indictment was announced. The Indian conglomerate is building one of the largest renewable energy parks — five times the size of Paris — near India's western coast with solar panels and wind turbines. The billionaire visited a Jinko Solar Co. manufacturing plant, inspecting the facility's automated production lines, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement on June 4. Its energy storage solutions are well-suited to India's high-temperature conditions and will be integrated into Adani's projects to bolster grid stability and renewable energy absorption, it said. Adani also visited Broad Group's facilities, the Chinese firm said in a post on X. The company has a range of subsidiaries that includes a wind turbine manufacturer. A spokesperson for Adani didn't immediately comment. The group's renewable energy ramp up plans are crucial for two of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's policy pledges — making the country carbon neutral by 2070 and self-reliant, especially in manufacturing. India is one of the biggest markets for China's solar modules and Adani's visit could also signal room for better business ties between the two countries. While relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors remain fraught, there have recently been signs of a thawing. In January, they agreed to resume direct flights, facilitate visas and restart sharing data of trans-border rivers. A few months later, the nations announced the resumption of an annual pilgrimage to the Tibet Autonomous Region, organized by India's foreign ministry, that had been suspended for years after border clashes erupted.
