The Indian stock market experienced a cautious session on Monday, October 13, 2025, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty trading lower.
Investor sentiment was impacted by renewed global trade tensions after US President Donald Trump escalated his trade dispute with China, following Beijing’s tightened restrictions on rare earth exports.
Domestic attention was also focused on the market debut of Tata Capital, which is the largest IPO of 2025 so far, adding to the cautious trading environment.
The Bank Nifty index closed at 56,569.15, down 40.60 points, or 0.07% at 11:10 AM on the NSE, reflecting mixed movements in the banking sector. While some major lenders contributed positively, others faced headwinds, leading to modest overall decline.

| AU Small Finance | 767.05 | 2.30 |

Broader indices reflected cautious trading, as investors balanced gains in select sectors against weakness in key financial stocks. The ongoing global trade tensions and the debut of Tata Capital IPO kept market participants attentive to both domestic and international developments.
On October 13, 2025, Bank Nifty saw a slight decline, reflecting mixed performance across the banking sector. Investors are likely to continue monitoring global trade developments and domestic IPO activity for cues on market direction.
