Today's Stock Market Update: Sensex stands at 80,604, while the Nifty 50 experiences a growth of 0.91%
The Indian stock market, specifically the Nifty 50 index and Sensex, showed a significant recovery on August 12, 2025, after six weeks of decline. The Nifty 50 index rose by nearly 0.91 percent to close at 24,585.05, and the Sensex gained 746.29 points to settle at 80,604.08.
The rebound was driven by a combination of technical factors, sectoral gains, improved investor sentiment, and cautious optimism regarding upcoming economic data.
Technical rebound and value buying
After six consecutive weeks of declines, the Nifty 50 rebounded strongly, gaining 0.91% and reclaiming the 24,500 mark. This upward move was driven by value buying and technical factors such as closing near the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 24,589, which added significance to the upward move.
Sectoral gains
On August 11, sectors such as auto, real estate, banking, pharma, metal, oil & gas, PSU banks, and realty posted gains between 0.5 to 2 percent, supporting a broad-based rally.
Improved investor sentiment due to easing global tensions
A truce between the US and China on tariffs reduced market worries and improved optimism in Asian markets. This, along with upbeat quarterly results from major Indian companies, supported a positive mood among investors.
Expectation of key economic data
Investors were awaiting important domestic inflation data and US inflation reports that could influence interest rate expectations, fueling cautious optimism and a rebound in Indian indices.
Technical resistance and breakout potential
Analysts noted that sustaining levels above critical resistance zones (24,600-24,630 for Nifty) could further drive the rally, although some cautioned that the market still needed a decisive breakout above 24,750-24,800 to fully reverse the recent bearish trend.
Recovery from previous sell-offs and bottoming out
The market's strong recovery came after a prolonged six-week decline, triggered by sluggish industrial output, inflation concerns, global trade tensions, and foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows. The bounce indicated some stabilization and new buying interest at lower levels.
In summary, the recovery on August 12, 2025, was driven by a combination of technical bounce from oversold conditions, broad sectoral gains, easing geopolitical tensions, improved corporate earnings, and cautious investor optimism regarding upcoming economic data and potential trend reversals. Investors remain watchful as key inflation data from both India and the United States is due soon.
