Stock market close highlights, Tuesday, July 1, 2025: Following a subdued session, Indian equity markets settled on a flat note with a positive bias on Tuesday amid cautious optimism in the Asian Markets. Investors are closely watching trade negotiations with the US ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 tariff deadline.  
 
After hitting an intraday high of 83,874.29, the BSE Sensex settled at 83,697.29 levels, up 90.83 points or 0.11 per cent. The NSE Nifty50 also ended with marginal gains of 24.75 points or 0.1 per cent, closing at 25,541.8 levels. 
Among the broader markets, the Nifty Midcap100 settled flat, while Nifty Smallcap100 indices settled down by 0.10 per cent.
 
On the sectoral front, Nifty PSU Bank, Metal, Oil & Gas, Consumer Durables, Healthcare, Pharma settled in green. On the other hand, Nifty Auto, IT, Energy, FMCG, Media, and Realty were the laggards. 
 
Market breadth remained mixed, with 1,491 out of 3,020 stocks closing higher, 1,452 ending lower, and 77 remaining unchanged on the NSE. As many as 96 stocks hit their 52-week highs, while 24 touched 52-week lows. The number of stocks hitting the upper circuit rose to 119, while 43 fell to their lower circuit limits.
 
The market capitalisation of all listed companies on the NSE stood at ₹5.36 trillion.
 
Meanwhile, the India VIX, which gauges market volatility, settled lower by 2.01 per cent at 12.5 points.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Markets traded lackluster and ended almost unchanged, taking a breather after Monday’s decline. Following an initial uptick, the Nifty moved in a narrow range and eventually settled at 25,541.80. On the sectoral front, a mixed trend kept participants engaged—metals, banking (particularly the PSU pack), and pharma witnessed gains, while FMCG and IT ended lower. The broader indices, after their recent outperformance, also traded flat in a subdued session.
 
Buoyancy in global markets—especially the U.S.—along with stable domestic cues suggests that the prevailing trend is likely to continue. We, therefore, reiterate our “buy on dips” view, with a strong emphasis on stock selection. However, participants should adopt a cautious stance on the broader market given the overbought conditions in select pockets.
