Despite relatively stable index movements, large-volume trades in specific stocks led to steep declines, especially in financials and healthcare stocks.
Sectoral and Market Outlook
Banking and Financials: While Nifty Bank posted slight gains, Nifty Financial Services was almost flat, indicating neutral sentiment in rate-sensitive sectors.
Mid & Small Caps: Strong price movements in selective small-cap stocks point towards renewed retail participation.
Global Sentiment: Investors remain watchful due to the recent increase in U.S. Treasury yields and the uncertain path of the U.S. Dollar.
Conclusion
The Indian equity market opened with mixed cues on June 3, 2025, amid caution in global markets and selective stock action. While headline indices such as Nifty 50 traded flat, investors saw opportunities in niche small-cap stocks like UNIVPHOTO and SALONA. On the downside, heavyweights such as YES Bank and APTUS saw steep declines.
Going forward, market participants are expected to track global bond yields, oil prices, and the RBI’s monetary commentary for directional cues.
