Stock Market LIVE Updates Today, Monday, June 9, 2025: Stock markets today will be, largely, influenced by global market trends. However, stock-specific triggers, surge in Covid-19 cases, foreign investors' flows, and IPOs will also guide market sentiment today.
At 6:40 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were ruling 66 points higher at 25,162 level.
The BSE Sensex index ended 747 points, or 0.92 per cent, higher at 82,189, while the Nifty50 closed at 25,003, higher by 252 points or 1.02 per cent.
"Although the Nifty remains in a consolidation phase, the buoyancy in rate-sensitive sectors—particularly the breakout seen in the banking index—has renewed hopes of a trend resumption. A decisive breakout above the 25,200 mark in the Nifty could trigger the next leg of the rally, potentially pushing the index toward the 25,600 level," said Ajit Mishra – SVP, research, Religare Broking.
FIIs/FPIs net bought Indian stocks worth ₹1,009.71 crore on Friday, while DIIs bought shares worth ₹9,342.48 crore.
