Indian stock markets are likely to open on a positive note on June 25, 2025, as Gift Nifty indicates a mildly optimistic start. Sentiment may be buoyed by easing geopolitical concerns and encouraging global signals, though investors may remain cautious ahead of key inflation data and central bank cues. Institutional flows and primary market activity could also influence market momentum through the day.
Asia-Pacific equities traded largely flat on Wednesday, after an initially positive open, as traders digested geopolitical developments and central bank signals. Regional sentiment improved after a potential ceasefire between Israel and Iran was reportedly brokered by US President Donald Trump, easing fears of a prolonged conflict in the Middle East.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose marginally by 0.073%, while the broader Topix index slipped 0.1%. Australia’s ASX 200 and South Korea’s Kospi remained flat, trading with slight negative biases. Investors were also awaiting Australia’s May inflation print for further cues.
US markets rallied on Tuesday as investor confidence rose following signals of interest rate stability from the Federal Reserve and a breakthrough in Middle East tensions. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the central bank is “well positioned to wait” on any policy changes due to persistent inflation concerns and uncertainty over trade tariffs.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.19% to 43,089.02, while the S&P 500 climbed 1.11% to 6,092.18—just below its 52-week high. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.43% to 19,912.53, and the Nasdaq 100 hit a record close, gaining 1.53% to 22,190.52. However, US stock futures showed little movement early Wednesday, with all major indices down about 0.1%.
On Tuesday, the BSE Sensex ended 158.32 points (0.19%) higher at 82,055.11, while the NSE Nifty 50 rose 72.45 points (0.29%) to close at 25,044.35.
Markets remained rangebound with a slight upward bias, supported by upbeat global cues and steady domestic sentiment. Gains were capped by mixed institutional flows and uncertainty surrounding oil prices and inflation expectations.
Key factors expected to drive today’s market action include:
Oil prices continued to fall for the second consecutive day, reflecting optimism that the truce would hold and major supply disruptions could be avoided. US crude slid 6% to $64.37 per barrel, while Brent crude dropped 6.1% to $67.14.

With Gift Nifty signaling a mildly positive start and geopolitical tensions showing signs of de-escalation, Indian equities could open firm. Supportive global cues and Fed reassurance may provide near-term stability, but investors will likely track institutional flows and inflation-related signals closely during the session.
