Share Market recap: 

Indian equities finished the session with gains on Monday, August 25, 2025, amid strength in global peers. Buying in Indian and global stocks emerged after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell left the door open for rate cuts in the Jackson Hole summit in Wyoming on Friday, citing weakness in the jobs market. Powell also emphasised the ongoing risk of higher inflation spurred by President Donald Trump's tariffs.
