Indian equities began the week on a subdued footing, with benchmark indices ending in negative territory on Monday, June 23, 2025. Investor sentiment was weighed down by escalating geopolitical tensions following U.S. airstrikes in Iran, which triggered risk aversion across global markets.
The Nifty 50 slipped 140.5 points (0.56%), settling at 24,971.90, while the Sensex fell 511.38 points (0.62%) to close at 81,896.79. The decline was largely led by selling in index heavyweights Infosys, L&T, and HDFC Bank.
🔍 Sectoral & Broader Market Performance
Sectoral trends were mixed, reflecting the market’s indecisiveness amid global uncertainties:
Gainers:
Nifty Media stood out with a stellar gain of 4.39%,
led by Zee Entertainment, which surged 12.46% on strong volumes.
Metal and Pharma indices also posted modest gains.
Losers:
IT, Auto, and FMCG sectors saw profit booking.
Nifty IT declined 1.48%, dragged lower by Oracle Financial Software and other frontline tech names.
In the broader market:
Nifty Midcap index rose 0.36%
Nifty Smallcap advanced 0.7%, indicating selective buying interest in non-index counters

📊 Market Breadth & Internals
Market participation showed weakness, as reflected in the breadth:
Declining stocks: 1,365
Total traded: 2,955
52-week highs: 41

Despite losses in headline indices, the positive close in mid and small-cap segments suggests a degree of underlying resilience, especially in pockets aligned with domestic consumption and capital expenditure themes.
