Gift Nifty Trade Lower: How Indian Market Likely to Open?

On July 14, 2025, Indian equity benchmarks, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a subdued note, weighed down by mixed cues from global markets and a host of domestic triggers.

Investor sentiment is expected to be cautious ahead of key macroeconomic indicators—India's June CPI and WPI inflation figures. Global developments are also in focus, including China's June trade data and the imposition of a 30% tariff by US President Donald Trump on imports from the EU and Mexico. Domestic corporate earnings, particularly HCLTech’s Q1 results, trends in foreign institutional investments, and activity in the IPO space, are also poised to influence market movements.
