Indian stock market: 10 key highlights from the day
1. What moved the market today?
While tariff-related uncertainty kept the mood fragile, gains in select heavyweights, including ICICI Bank, Infosys, Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank, supported the benchmarks.
Investors await the India-US trade deal as the July 9 deadline approaches. Caution ahead of the upcoming Q1FY26 earnings is also keeping the market rangebound.
“The Indian market is experiencing a pause as investors adopt a wait-and-watch strategy ahead of the impending US tariff deadline, with mixed global cues. Ongoing FII outflows reflect a risk-off approach, while DII inflows are offering partial support,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, observed.
“Following the recent rally, main indices are hovering near peak valuation levels, limiting further upside, which is highly dependent on Q1 earnings and details of the trade deal. In the mid-and small-cap space, the market has shifted to being more stock-specific following the recent recovery,” Nair added.
