Stock market weekly wrap: Sensex, Nifty 50 end higher for third week. What to expect from Indian stock market next week?
Indian stock market: Indian indices - Sensex and Nifty 50 - ended the week on a higher note for third week straight on RBI's policy announcement, which took the market by surprise. After remaining range-bound for most of the week, benchmark indices surged sharply on Friday and settled near the week's high, with the Nifty closing at 25,003 and the Sensex at 82,118.99. The sectoral performance was generally favorable, with rate-sensitive sectors experiencing robust buying activity. The rally was led by realty, automobile, and banking stocks, driven by optimistic expectations for credit growth and consumer confidence. Financials and NBFCs also saw gains, supported by the anticipation that lower interest rates will improve borrowing conditions. On the other hand, IT stocks lagged behind due to ongoing global uncertainties, especially in the U.S. and European markets. Moving ahead, market participants will concentrate on important macroeconomic data for additional insights. Key high-frequency indicators like CPI inflation will be carefully observed to assess demand patterns and anticipate the central bank's future actions. Furthermore, the status of the monsoon and sowing activities will be tracked because of their impact on rural consumption. Globally, progress in trade talks and fluctuations in U.S. bond yields will remain significant factors shaping investor sentiment. According to Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, Nifty has once again approached the upper band of its prevailing consolidation range of 24,500–25,100. ' A decisive breakout above 25,200 would mark the beginning of a fresh uptrend, with potential to gradually move toward the 25,600–25,800 zone. On the downside, the 24,400–24,600 range is expected to act as a strong support zone during any corrective phase,' Mishra said. Meanwhile, speaking on Bank Nifty outlook, Mishra said, ' The banking index has finally broken above the key 56,000 mark after trading in a tight range for over a month. We now expect it to move toward the 58,000 level, making this segment crucial for broader market direction. In case of a dip, the 55,350–56,000 range is likely to provide strong support.' Market analysts maintain a positive outlook on the markets fueled by RBI's rate cut. 'With the RBI's rate cut and dovish commentary acting as strong tailwinds, we maintain our positive outlook on the markets and suggest continuing with a 'buy on dips' strategy unless the Nifty decisively breaks below 24,600. However, investors should remain selective and focus on fundamentally strong stocks in sectors such as banking, auto, and real estate, which are poised to benefit from lower interest rates. Other sectors may contribute on a rotational basis,' Mishra said. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

FIIs infuse ₹15,208 crore; remains net sellers in 2025. Will FPIs make a comeback in 2025?
Both Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), remained net buyers on Friday, June 6, despite the Nifty moving within a tight range near its all-time highs. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) or FIIs recorded net purchases of ₹ 1,009 crore, having bought equities worth ₹ 15,208 crore and sold ₹ 14,198 crore on Friday, as per data available on NSE. In comparison, DIIs were notably more active, registering net purchases of ₹ 9,342 crore. DIIs acquired shares amounting to ₹ 22,522.51 crore while offloading ₹ 13,180 crore worth. Although there were positive inflows during the day, FIIs have continued to be net sellers in 2025, having sold equities worth ₹ 1.24 lakh crore so far. On the other hand, DIIs have consistently backed the market, with their net purchases approaching ₹ 3 lakh crore since the beginning of the year. In June so far, FIIs have recorded net outflows of ₹ 4,575.59 crore, whereas DIIs have made net purchases totaling ₹ 16,170.95 crore, highlighting the strong domestic backing that has been driving recent market resilience. According to a report by Iconic Wealth, FIIs hold 18.8 per cent of Indian equities versus an average of 30 per cent for EM (ex-China). This leaves wide runway for fresh global capital to chase the India growth story over the coming decade. Since 2015, FIIs have trimmed their allocation to large-cap stocks from around 80 per cent to under 77 per cent. However, during the same period, they significantly broadened their portfolios—now holding positions in 80 per cent of Nifty-500 companies compared to just 20 per cent twenty years ago, the report revealed. FIIs are steadily increasing their exposure to sectors like chemicals, EMS, telecom, financials, and infrastructure—driven by themes such as the China+1 strategy, tech-enabled consumption growth, and the ongoing capex upcycle. "From hundred favourites to four hundred front runners: FIIs have moved from investing in just top 20% of Nifty 500 companies till two decades ago to 80% today, while their allocation to the Nifty 50 has simply dwindled to historic lows - indicating that global investors now see opportunity across the full breadth of Indian market," said Srikanth Subramanian, Co-Founder & CEO, Ionic Wealth.

Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads ET Now: A big day for the market coming in. We have finally managed to break above that range that Nifty was stuck in. We have managed to touch the 25,000 levels. From here on, do you see now the bulls really take charge because we have managed to surpass these levels, it is a wait and watch whether we sustain it but what do you see on the technicals for the Nifty and Nifty Bank going ahead? ET Now: The largecaps have been stuck in a range. Of course, there were individual movers, but largely the largecaps were in a range. It was the SMIDs that were really giving an outperformance for now. Tell us on the charts how do you see the broader end of the market, the small and the midcaps moving ahead because they have been clearly outperforming. Do you see further up move in that area? Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads ET Now: Given the kind of market setup we have right now, help us understand which are your top picks at this point. Rajesh Palviya, Axis Securities, says midcap stocks are outperforming and this is likely to be there because when your benchmark indexes are holding at certain levels, so midcap and smallcap generally tend to move higher and this is what is exactly happening. Since last two-three-week, Nifty is consolidating in range after a have witnessed a consolidation of almost for a two-week in a range of 25,000 to 24,600. So, it was the consolidation range for last two weeks and today, we have almost reached the highest point of this consolidation range. Looking at the data, still call writers are there at 25,000 and 25,100 strikes. So, that may act as an immediate resistance for the Nifty. But looking at the broader market, the way the banking and financial have moved up and other sector like real estate and other capital goods stocks have also participated in this the way broader market has recovered in last couple of weeks, it clearly indicates that yes, there is a possibility that we may break above 25,100 and once this breakout happens, we could see a short covering action in Nifty and then rally can extend further towards 25,400 to 25,500 in the coming week. So, view is bullish. Buy on dips would be the strategy. 24,850 should be your stop loss to buy and accumulate in this range. For Bank Nifty, it is a clear breakout. Bank Nifty is now at a new all-time high trajectory. The way short covering has triggered post RBI policy, we could see another rally to extend in the coming week. 57,000 we are projecting a target for Bank Nifty in the continuation of this up move. Buy on dips again here also one can apply this strategy and keep your stop loss around 56,200 to hold and accumulate Bank Nifty midcap stocks are outperforming and this is likely to be there because when your benchmark indexes are holding at certain levels, so midcap and smallcap generally tend to move higher and this is what is exactly happening. Since last two-three-week, Nifty is consolidating in range after a rally. So, the major buying interest has been shifted to the midcap and smallcap and we have witnessed most of the midcap and smallcap space have done well and the kind of rally which we have unfolded in last two-three week, there could be another rally of 3% to 4% in this space in the coming yes, one should remain invested in this midcap and smallcap space and quality midcap and smallcap can do well and the way a breakout has happened on the near-term, short-term chart, that clearly shows that yes, buying interest is very much there in the midcap and smallcap space and we could see good traction going forward also. So, on index level 24,800 one needs to keep as a stop loss and if these levels are intact for some more time, so we could see another 2% to 3% kind of up move in midcap and smallcap stock ideas, both are on the buy side. First one is from the real estate space that is Oberoi Realty. The way stock has now managed to give breakout of the almost 8- to 10-week consolidation range and now stock is forming a rounding bottom sort of formation on a daily chart. Long built-up was there in the derivative looking at the overall setup for Oberoi Realty, we believe that this stock may extend its gain, possible target towards 1950 to 1960 in the coming week, one can keep a stop loss towards 1888 to buy Oberoi second stock that is from the healthcare space, Fortis Healthcare is looking very attractive. Stock is almost trading near to its all-time high trajectory. The way stock is moving in ups sloping channel on a weekly chart, that clearly indicates that there is a sustained buying action is happening in this counter. Looking at the breakout on daily chart, we believe that Fortis can extend its gain in the coming week, possible target towards 795, so one can buy this stock with stop loss of 748.
