2 June 2025- Markets Close Mixed Amid Volatility; Nifty 50 Dips, Select Stocks Surge

Mumbai: The Indian stock market began the month of June on a volatile note, reflecting mixed global cues and investor indecisiveness. On Monday, 2 June 2025, key benchmark indices showcased a tug-of-war between gains in banking and midcap stocks and losses in heavyweight financial and FMCG segments. The Nifty 50 closed marginally in the red, down 0.14%, as investors exercised caution amid a backdrop of rising U.S. Treasury yields, weakening dollar sentiments, and persistent global inflationary pressures.

At the same time, broader market indices such as Nifty Next 50 and Nifty Bank posted modest gains, signaling underlying strength in select sectors. The market also saw significant action in small-cap and mid-cap counters, with multiple stocks hitting their upper circuits, while some high-volume counters witnessed sharp selloffs, contributing to the day’s market divergence.

Domestic factors such as speculation around the Reserve Bank of India’s upcoming monetary policy, anticipation of new government economic announcements post-election, and renewed Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) activity added to the market’s cautious tone. Furthermore, traders remained watchful of geopolitical tensions and oil price fluctuations that could influence foreign exchange and inflation dynamics in the coming weeks.

This complex interplay of global headwinds and domestic optimism defined Monday’s trade, setting the tone for a week where stock-specific performance and macro signals are likely to dominate investor sentiment.
