Nifty, Sensex open under pressure due to uncertainty over US-tariff, Q1 earnings and funds diversion to IPOs: Experts

Jul 21, 2025

NEW DELHI: Indian stock markets made a muted start on Monday, with both benchmark indices opening flat as investor sentiment remained weak amid ongoing uncertainty around the India-US trade deal.

The Nifty 50 index opened at 24,999, up by 30.60 points or 0.12 per cent, while the BSE Sensex opened at 81,918.53, registering a gain of 160.80 points or 0.20 per cent. Both indices declined in the early trading session, reversing the opening gains.

This came after markets posted three consecutive weeks of losses, and now mark ten months since Indian indices last touched their all-time highs in September 2024.

Experts say that the lack of progress in the fifth round of India-US trade talks is affecting investor confidence.
