POST-MARKET SUMMARY 13th August 2025

On 13, the Indian market ended higher, recovering from previous session losses, with Nifty closing above 24,600, driven by broad-based sectoral buying. The easing of the US July Consumer Price Index (CPI) to 2.7% and India's retail inflation declining to 1.6%—it’s lowest in eight years—boosted sentiment, fuelling optimism for rate cuts by the respective central banks in their upcoming monetary policy meetings. 

Among the broader indices, the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices gained 0.6% each. On the sectoral front, all indices, except for PSU Bank, FMCG and Oil & Gas, ended in the green, with Auto, Metal and Pharma sectors rising by 1%–1.7%

 BANK NIFTY: The index opened 296 points higher at 55,340 and closed at 55,181.  Bank Nifty has formed a small bearish candle on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed around 55,350 while immediate support is around 55,000.
