POST-MARKET SUMMARY 1st August 2025

On August 1, benchmark indices ended lower for the second consecutive session, marking their fifth week of losses. The Nifty closed below 24,600 on the first day of the August series as broad-based selling, particularly in pharma stocks, weighed heavily on sentiment.

The indices opened lower, tracking weak global cues, but managed to recover briefly. However, profit-booking in the mid-session and an extended sell-off in the final hour dragged the Nifty lower, closing near its day’s low.

Broader indices underperformed, with the BSE Midcap index down 1.4% and the Smallcap index lower by 1.6%. On the sectoral front, all sectors ended in the red except FMCG, which gained 0.7%.
