Market Outlook on 16 July 2025
The slight uptick in Nifty 50, combined with sectoral support from financial and banking indices, suggests that investor sentiment remains cautiously optimistic amid global cues and upcoming earnings season. However, the high volatility in small caps and real estate-linked RE stocks also highlights underlying risks.
Analysts recommend watching global inflation trends and domestic policy signals closely as the earnings season progresses.
