Stock markets close flat in volatile trade; Eternal jumps nearly 11 pc

The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 29.80 points or 0.12 per cent to settle at 25,060.90. The 30-share BSE Sensex ended 13.53 points or 0.02 per cent down at 82,186.81. During the morning trade, it climbed 337.83 points or 0.41 per cent to 82,538.17 but lost momentum later. Mumbai, Jul 22 (PTI) Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed almost unchanged in a volatile trade on Tuesday as gains in quick commerce and private banking shares were offset by losses in oil & gas and IT shares. Lack of clarity over the US-India trade deal ahead of the August 1 deadline and profit booking by FIIs hit the market sentiment, experts said. Among Sensex firms, Eternal jumped the most by 10.56 per cent in a post-result rally. Food delivery and quick commerce firm Eternal, which owns the Zomato and Blinkit brands, on Monday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 25 crore for the June quarter, as continuing investments in quick commerce and going-out businesses weighed on its bottom line. Titan rose by over 1 per cent while HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank extended gains after their quarterly results. Hindustan Unilever, Bharat Electronics, Maruti, ICICI Bank and Mahindra & Mahindra were also among the gainers. However, Tata Motors, Adani Ports, State Bank of India and Reliance Industries were among the laggards. 'The market's attention is on quarterly earnings, which slowed lately after some traction from banking stocks. Positivity noticed on Friday and Monday tapered ahead of the critical August 1st deadline of US trade agreement. 'Upside in Q1 earnings will be the critical point to sustain the current premium valuations. Continued profit-booking by FIIs exerts downward pressure, while steady inflows from DIIs could support for a range-bound movement with a positive bias towards Q1 results and trade deal,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE midcap gauge declined 0.62 per cent and smallcap index dipped 0.17 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, realty dropped 1.01 per cent, followed by telecommunication (0.87 per cent), auto (0.78 per cent), IT (0.53 per cent) and teck (0.53 per cent). Consumer discretionary emerged as the only gainer. 'Markets remained range-bound and ended almost flat, indicating a pause amid mixed signals. The market continues to lack clear direction amid mixed earnings announcements and muted global cues,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. In Asian markets, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled in positive territory while South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei 225 index ended lower. European markets were trading mostly lower. The US markets ended mostly higher on Monday. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,681.23 crore on Monday, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth Rs 3,578.43 crore, according to exchange data. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dropped 0.97 per cent to USD 68.54 a barrel. On Monday, the Sensex climbed 442.61 points or 0.54 per cent to settle at 82,200.34. The Nifty jumped 122.30 points or 0.49 per cent to 25,090.70. PTI SUM MR MR This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

FIIs pull out $9.2 billion from Indian equities in 2025, but bet big on telecom and financials

Foreign investors have withdrawn approximately Rs 79,344 crore (~USD 9.2 billion) from Indian equities in 2025. However, a closer look reveals a more strategic approach: while they are pulling back from certain areas, they are simultaneously boosting investments in select sectors. This pattern suggests that FIIs are favouring growth-oriented industries—such as finance, telecom, and services—that are closely tied to India's economic expansion, rather than defensive sectors, according to NSDL FPI sectoral data. ADVERTISEMENT The top favourite is Telecom. FIIs have consistently bought into the sector every month, with a whopping Rs 26,968 crore invested so far this year—more than any other sector. FIIs have been net buyers in Financial Services for the last five straight months—even the first 15 days of July saw an inflow of Rs 820 crore. So far in 2025, the sector has pulled in Rs 14,537 crore, with the biggest push coming in April alone at Rs 18,409 crore. That's a strong vote of confidence in India's banking and finance story. They are also showing rising interest in the Services sector, with Rs 10,027 crore in net inflows. This likely reflects faith in the country's growing domestic demand and exports in business services. The broader picture remains cautious. FIIs were net sellers to the tune of Rs 79,344 crore till mid-July, with major outflows concentrated in: ADVERTISEMENT IT stocks have seen the biggest exits, with Rs 36,079 crore pulled out so once a defensive favourite, saw Rs 19,606 crore in net sales.
