POST-MARKET SUMMARY 18th September 2025
In a volatile session on September 18, the Indian benchmark indices closed higher, marking a third consecutive day of gains. After a strong start, mid-session profit-booking wiped out most of the earlier gains, but a final-hour buying spree pushed the Nifty to close above 25,400.
The market’s positive momentum was largely driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut, which improved global risk sentiment. Among broader indices, the BSE Midcap index rose by 0.4%, while the BSE Smallcap index ended flat. Sector-wise, IT, Pharma, Private Banks and Metal indices gained between 0.3% and 1.5%, while Energy and Media sectors dipped by 0.3% each.
