Indian equity benchmarks snapped a four-session losing streak on July 15, 2025, lifted by easing domestic inflation and broad-based sectoral gains. The Nifty 50 rose by 113.50 points or 0.45% to close at 25,195.80, while the Sensex gained 317.45 points, ending the session at 82,570.91.

Markets cheered the softer-than-anticipated CPI data, which provided a welcome breather for equity bulls. Investor sentiment was further bolstered by strength in key heavyweights across auto and financials, despite weakness in a few technology counters.

🌐 Global Snapshot

Global cues were mixed as China’s Q2 GDP numbers came in slightly below expectations. The world’s second-largest economy posted 1.1% QoQ growth vs. expectations of 1.2%, and 5.2% YoY vs. consensus 5.4%, raising fresh concerns about the strength of its post-pandemic recovery.

U.S. markets were cautious ahead of earnings from major banks and tech firms. In commodities, crude prices held steady, while gold prices showed signs of strength as inflation uncertainty lingered globally.

🏭 Sectoral & Stock Highlights

Among the 11 major NSE sectoral indices, 10 ended in the green, reflecting widespread buying interest.

The only laggard was the Nifty Metal index, which dipped a modest 0.07%.
