POST-MARKET SUMMARY 25th February 2025

On February 25, benchmark indices closed nearly flat after a volatile session, retreating from intraday highs due to a late-session sell-off. Weak global cues led to a marginally lower opening, but markets recovered early losses and traded rangebound for most of the day. However, last hour selling wiped out gains, dragging the indices lower. 

On the sectoral front, IT, metal, oil & gas, energy, capital goods, PSU banks, and realty declined 0.5-1%, while auto, consumer durables, FMCG, and telecom gained about 0.5% each.

NIFTY:  The index opened 37 points lower at 22,516 and made a high of 22,625 before closing at 22,547. Nifty has formed an inverted hammer candlestick pattern on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 22,625 while its immediate support is at 22,500.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 40 points higher at 48,691 and closed at 48,608. Bank Nifty has formed an inverted hammer-like candlestick pattern on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed around 48,750 while immediate support is around 48,450.

Stocks in Spotlight

▪  Tata Investment: Stock climbed 7% after the board approved an IPO, marking a positive step for the company. This decision is expected to drive growth and expansion, supported by its strong presence in the loan market and backing from Tata Sons, its primary shareholder.

▪  Nestle India: Stock gained close to 3% intraday as the company considered small price hikes to offset rising costs of coffee, cocoa, and edible oils, aiming to manage expenses and sustain profitability amid slowing urban demand.

▪  IREDA: Stock rose over 3% intraday after securing shareholder approval to raise ₹5,000 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The funds will support renewable energy projects with strong growth potential, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's long-term strategy.

Global News

▪  US futures fluctuated around the flatline on Tuesday after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their losing streak to three sessions on Monday, as geopolitical and trade tensions weighed on sentiment.

▪  The STOXX 50 hovered around the flatline, while the STOXX 600 gained 0.3% on Tuesday, attempting to recover from a weak open, driven by strength in the healthcare sector.

▪  Oil prices remained steady on Tuesday after a rise the previous day, when fresh U.S. sanctions on Iran heightened concerns over potential supply tightening, as global refining margins stayed strong.
