Market Awaits U.S.-India Trade Deal

Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened lower on Monday (July 14, 2025), weighed down by losses in IT stocks and continued foreign investor selling. The BSE Sensex fell by 232.93 points to 82,267.54, while the NSE Nifty slipped 71.4 points to 25,078.45 during early trading.

Among the key laggards on the Sensex were Bajaj Finance, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Bharti Airtel, HCL Tech, and Asian Paints. On the other hand, Trent, Axis Bank, Mahindra & Mahindra, and NTPC saw gains.

Data from the exchanges showed that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹5,104.22 crore on Friday (July 11, 2025).

"Nifty has been showing weakness, primarily due to the underperformance of IT stocks. This trend may continue, especially after heavy FII selling in Friday’s cash market. The market is hopeful about a potential U.S.-India trade deal that could fix tariff rates around 20%. Such an agreement could improve sentiment, but any setback could worsen the ongoing decline," said V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

In Asian trading, indices in South Korea, Shanghai, and Hong Kong moved higher, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 was in the red.

Meanwhile, U.S. stock markets had closed lower on Friday.

Crude oil prices edged up slightly, with Brent crude rising 0.17% to \$70.48 per barrel.

On the previous trading day (Friday), the Sensex had plunged 689.81 points (0.83%) to close at 82,500.47, and the Nifty lost 205.40 points (0.81%) to finish at 25,149.85.
