POST-MARKET SUMMARY 4th August 2025

On August 4, Indian indices started the week on a positive note, snapping a two-day losing streak, with Nifty surpassing 24,700 amid broad-based sectoral buying. Despite weak global markets, domestic indices experienced initial volatility but traded higher throughout the session, with Nifty closing near the day’s high. Investor sentiment was buoyed by expectations of a Fed rate cut following disappointing U.S. job reports.
