India: Daily Stock Market Performance Insight - September 9, 2025

Today, the Indian market ended on a positive note, but with some underlying caution. The Sensex closed up 330 points at 81,154.17, while the Nifty finished above 24,876, specifically at 24,773.15 – a gain of 0.13%. Earlier in the day, both indices saw stronger gains, with the Sensex rallying as high as 366.87 points and the Nifty climbing 101.35 points, fueled by optimism from global markets and hopes for a US Fed rate cut.

A key theme today was the balance between positive momentum and emerging resistance. The Nifty 50 hit a roadblock near the 24,900-25,000 zone, with the highest Call open interest at 25,000. This suggests traders are anticipating a ceiling on gains. Meanwhile, strong buying interest, especially in IT stocks like Tech Mahindra (up 2.30%), Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (up 2.03%), TCS (up 1.30%) and Infosys, helped lift the market. Bartronics India even surged 12% after announcing an MoU focused on carbon credits.

However, there were counter-currents. Bank Nifty, while gaining 72 points to close at 54,187, gave up over 300 points from its day’s high and formed a ‘Doji’ pattern, signaling indecision. A move below 53,900 could trigger a correction towards 53,500-53,100. Also, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded ₹2,170.35 crore worth of equities, but this selling pressure was offset by Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) who bought ₹3,014.30 crore worth of stocks. This DII support was crucial in maintaining the positive trend.

Looking ahead, expect range-bound trading between 24,500 and 25,000 for the Nifty. The Goel Construction IPO debuted strongly, jumping 15% to ₹302.50 from its issue price of ₹263, showing investor appetite for well-received new offerings. However, RBL Bank remains in an F&O ban, restricting trading activity. SEBI’s ₹4,800 crore penalty on Jane Street for alleged market manipulation is a reminder of regulatory oversight.
