India stocks markets 8 July 2025 Update: Nifty‑Sensex range‑bound moves, bank & midcap trends, and expert levels shape India’s stocks & markets this month.k
Right now, Indian markets are calm yet watchful.
Market Performace — Flat & Waiting
Markets have been in a holding pattern:
Nifty 50 is stuck around 25,460–25,500, with little movement.
Sensex closed at 83,442, just about flat over the recent week.
India VIX sits at 12.5–12.6, showing no high volatility—investors feel stable, not panicky.
Why this stillness? All eyes are on trade‑deal updates—especially looming US tariffs effective August 1—and upcoming corporate earning reports.
Trade Tensions Take Centre Stage
Heavy U.S. tariffs are hitting 14 countries from August. That’s spooking markets globally:
GIFT‑Nifty signalled weakness in early trades, showing investor jitter.
Experts suggest fresh trade-deal clarity—especially India‑US—could tip the markets either way.
Key Technical Levels to Watch
Traders are tracking two important ranges:
- Support band: ~25,300–25,350. A breakdown below that might lead to 25,200–25,100.
- Resistance zone: ~25,500–25,700. A move above 25,500 could push markets toward 25,650–25,700.
So, unless a major global or domestic trigger hits, expect markets to hover in this 400‑point band.
