Sensex, Nifty Surge on Asian Optimism; Auto, Metal Stocks Lead Charge
Indian equities kicked off the week on a positive note, with the Sensex and Nifty opening higher on Monday, August 4, 2025, mirroring the upbeat sentiment in Asian markets. The gains were largely driven by robust performance in the auto and metal sectors, with Tata Steel emerging as a prominent gainer.
However, not all sectors shared in the positive momentum. IT major Infosys, along with some financial stocks, lagged behind the broader market rally.
This positive opening comes in contrast to the Friday close on US markets, which ended in the red. Brent crude prices also witnessed a decline.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their selling spree on Friday, adding another layer of complexity to the market dynamics. This trend warrants close monitoring in the coming days.
The early gains offer a glimmer of hope for investors, but the sustained impact of FII selling and global uncertainties needs careful consideration. The performance of the Indian markets will likely hinge on the interplay of domestic factors and global economic trends in the days ahead.
