Sensex and Nifty Extend Rally for Fourth Day; FIIs Pump in ₹12,594 Crore

Mumbai, June 27, 2025 — Benchmark equity indices opened higher on Friday, extending their winning streak to a fourth consecutive session, buoyed by strong foreign inflows and a positive overnight close on Wall Street.

Early Gains for Benchmarks

The BSE Sensex surged 229.22 points to reach 83,985.09 in early trade, while the NSE Nifty advanced by 73.5 points to 25,622.50, continuing Thursday’s momentum where both indices had gained over 1 percent.

Among the top performers on the 30-share Sensex were Larsen & Toubro, Tata Steel, State Bank of India, Tata Motors, HCL Technologies, and Bharat Electronics. On the flip side, Bajaj Finserv, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finance, and Kotak Mahindra Bank witnessed some early pressure.

FIIs Lead the Charge

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net buyers, injecting ₹12,594.38 crore into equities on Thursday, according to data from the exchanges. This influx of funds has helped fuel the current market uptrend.

Global Cues and Sectoral Trends

Asian market sentiment was mixed in early trade. Japan’s Nikkei 225 was trading in the green, while indices such as Kospi (South Korea), SSE Composite (Shanghai), and Hang Seng (Hong Kong) were under pressure.

Meanwhile, US markets closed higher on Thursday, providing positive cues for Indian equities.

RBI’s Call for Lower Lending Rates

In a significant policy update, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has called on banks to reduce their lending rates to accelerate the transmission of the recent 50-basis point rate cut. The RBI, in its June Bulletin, reiterated that financial conditions remain favorable for a more efficient rate transmission mechanism.

Crude Prices Edge Higher

On the commodities front, Brent crude prices rose 0.49 percent to $68.06 per barrel, reflecting a slight uptick in global energy demand expectations.

Previous Session Recap

On Thursday, the Sensex had surged by 1,000.36 points (1.21%) to close at 83,755.87, while the Nifty jumped 304.25 points (1.21%) to end at 25,549, marking one of the strongest sessions in recent weeks.

The ongoing rally underscores investor optimism fuelled by global cues, strong FII interest, and accommodative domestic monetary signals.
