Indian Stock Market: The new FY 2025-26 is starting from this week. Foreign investors are returning to the Indian market after selling six months. In such a situation, the question in the minds of investors is how the new financial year will be. The market will also keep an eye on the meeting of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee in the second week of April 2025 with the allanes associated with the tariff of US President Donald Trump, in which the reduction in interest rates is expected.
The past week is mixed for the stock market. This week the Nifty 50 and the Sensex 30 indices recorded a slight increase, while the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices made weak performances and closed down with a decline. Despite the weak global signals and concerns about the upcoming American tariffs, the positive perception of foreign investors continued in the market. According to market experts, after continuous selling in recent months, FIIs have become pure buyers in the last few sessions.
There was a ups and downs in the market on 28 March on the first day of the new (April) series. The Sensex fell 191.51 points or 0.25 percent to close at 77,414.92, while the Nifty fell 72.60 points or 0.31 percent to close at 23,519.35. According to a note of choice broking, for the week, the Sensex and Nifty increased by more than 0.5 percent, increased by 6 percent for the month and 5 percent increased in FY 2024-25. Meanwhile, India VIX fell 5.31 percent to 12.5750, indicating low instability in the market.
Manoj Purohit, partner and leader of BDO India’s Financial Service Tax, Tax and Regulatory Service, said that the FII flow has started in the green mark, which has returned enthusiasm in the Indian market despite the last week of the financial year, which usually shows huge profits. He further said, “On the other hand, one of the major announcements made by SEBI in his board meeting has encouraged the FPI.”
Overall, this capital market is a time taken by the regulator, in which foreign investors are taking a cautious stance towards India. Now everyone’s eyes are on the upcoming announcements made on the US possible tariff sanctions and the RBI’s review meeting.
