Market Update – 29 September 2025 [As Per Mid Session Trends]
The Indian equity markets began the week on a hopeful note, seeking a rebound after a tumultuous stretch. Early trades reveal cautious optimism, even as underlying volatility continues to assert its influence.
- The Nifty 50 edged up, and the Sensex has followed suit with modest gains — the rally being led by energy, realty, metals and IT names.
- This marks a break from a six-day losing streak, with relief creeping in, albeit in a tentative fashion.
- However, not all counters are in harmony: FMCG names are under pressure, one of them (Hindustan Unilever) slipped sharply after warning of short-term disruption in sales owing to recent GST shifts.
- Across sectors, breadth is mixed — many sectors are inching up, but pockets of weakness remain, reflecting selective buying rather than wholesale enthusiasm.
Investors are keeping their eyes fixed on the ongoing RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting and global cues — any hawkish tilt or fresh headwinds could sway sentiment sharply. The near-term terrain still seems choppy, with support and resistance levels likely to define intraday swings.
At this moment, the market feels like a delicate dance between hope and caution — and every policy whisper or global ripple could tip the balance.
