POST-MARKET SUMMARY 5th August 2025

On August 5, Indian equity indices erased some of the previous session's gains to close in the red, with Nifty ending below 24,700 amidst widespread selling across most sectoral indices. 

After a flat opening, the indices came under pressure following recent statements from the US President regarding higher tariffs on India, causing Nifty to dip below 24,600 intraday. However, buying in auto stocks helped to mitigate the losses.

Among broader indices, the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices closed with slight losses, ranging from 0.14% to 0.27%. On the sectoral front, the defence index rose by 0.8% and the auto index gained 0.4%, while the banking, IT, oil & gas, FMCG and pharma sectors declined by 0.5% to 1%. 

In the primary market, Highway Infrastructure Ltd launched its IPO today, with the grey market premium (GMP) surging to 57% on the first day of bidding. A detailed IPO review is available here.
