🔎 Market Sentiment & Outlook on 17 july 2025
The negative close was attributed to:
-
Weak global cues and profit booking at higher levels.
-
Concerns over U.S. Fed’s next policy stance.
-
Sector-specific corrections in financial and banking stocks.
Despite the fall in benchmarks, retail investor activity was evident in selective smallcaps and midcaps.
📊 Conclusion
While the headline indices ended in the red, the action was concentrated in specific pockets like tech and specialty financials. The sharp movement in stocks like IXIGO, ASTEC-RE, and RADHIKAJWE suggests continued momentum in retail-driven counters, even as institutions booked profits in large caps.
Market participants are advised to remain cautious amid volatility and focus on fundamentally strong companies in the midcap space.
