Sensex, Nifty Edge Higher Despite FPI Woes
Indian equities started the week on a positive note, with the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, registering marginal gains on Monday, August 4, 2025. This upward movement followed a period of oversold conditions.
However, the recovery occurred amidst persistent foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows and a generally weak global market sentiment. These headwinds presented a challenging backdrop for the market’s performance.
Despite the negative external factors, buying emerged, pushing the indices into positive territory. Analysts attributed this to bargain hunting at oversold levels.
The resilience shown by the Indian markets, even against global uncertainties and FPI selling, underscores the underlying strength of the domestic economy. This positive trend, however, needs to be viewed cautiously in light of continuing global economic volatility. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether this is a sustainable recovery or a temporary bounce. The performance of the markets will be keenly watched by investors and economic analysts alike, as it offers vital insights into India’s economic health and resilience.
