Sentiment & Outlook on 8 July 2025 opening:
The overall tone in the Indian stock market remains cautiously optimistic. Gains in financial and banking stocks are supporting key indices, but broader market sentiment is being weighed down by underperformance in mid-cap and small-cap counters.
While heavyweight sectors like finance are attracting fresh inflows, investors appear selective, with many offloading high-beta names. Corporate earnings season and global cues, especially U.S. Fed commentary and oil prices, will likely steer the upcoming sessions.
