📌 Daily Market Wrap | July 10, 2025
Presented by Angeeras Securities Research Desk
Indian equity benchmarks continued their downward trend on Thursday, weighed down by subdued investor sentiment ahead of the June quarter earnings season and ongoing developments in the U.S.-India trade dialogue. The Nifty 50 slipped 120.85 points to close at 25,355.25, while the Sensex fell by 345.80 points, ending at 83,190.28.
The IT sector was one of the key underperformers for the day. The Nifty IT index dropped 0.79%, with all ten constituents closing in the red. Market leader TCS, on the eve of its Q1 results, closed marginally lower by 0.05%, reflecting cautious investor positioning.
From a technical standpoint, selling pressure around the 25,500 level on the Nifty signaled prevailing caution among traders, especially ahead of earnings and regulatory updates.
🌍 Global Context & Derivatives Volatility
Global cues were mixed. Asian markets showed mild resilience, brushing off aggressive tariff rhetoric from former U.S. President Donald Trump. Domestically, attention was sharply focused on derivatives action following the SEBI ban on Jane Street Group, a U.S.-based high-frequency trading firm.
Key Observations:
NSE Volatility Index fell to 11.7, its lowest level in over a year. Nifty 50 options volume remained robust but below last week’s expiry, as traders monitored possible ripple effects of SEBI’s enforcement actions on derivatives trading. Thursday’s expiry, central to Jane Street’s strategy as per SEBI’s findings, drew special attention for signs of manipulation or irregularity.
Jane Street has denied any wrongdoing, citing the use of standard arbitrage strategies.
