Edited by: Olga Sukhina

On June 25, 2025, the Indian stock market reached its highest closing levels of the year. The BSE Sensex closed at 82,755.51, up 700.40 points (0.85%), and the Nifty50 index ended at 25,244.75, up 200.40 points (0.80%). This marks the second consecutive day of gains for both indices. The total market capitalization of BSE-listed companies rose by ₹4 lakh crore, reaching approximately ₹454 lakh crore. (Source: Business-Standard.com)

The rally was fueled by easing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, announced on June 20, 2025. This improved global investor confidence. Buying in heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries, Infosys, and HDFC Bank also supported the gains. Positive global cues and strong performance in sectors such as IT and media further contributed to the market momentum. (Source: Business-Standard.com)

The Indian rupee closed 0.21% higher against the US dollar at 86.09 per dollar. The Reserve Bank of India's measures to manage short-term liquidity contributed to this stabilization. Technical analysts suggest the Nifty50 index is on the path toward a decisive upside breakout, with targets around 25,600–25,700 in the near term. (Source: Business-Standard.com)
