Sensex Starts In Green, Nifty Above 24,500 Amid Strong Global Cues

Stock Market Today: The domestic equity market started on a positive note on June 4, 2025, mirroring the positive sentiment in Asian and the US markets.  At 9:25 AM, the Sensex was at 80,877.30, up by 139.79 points, or 0.17 per cent. Elsewhere, the Nifty 50 was up by 41.80 points, or 0.17 per cent, at 24,583.60. The broader market, too, traded in the positive territory, as the key indices, the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100, traded higher in the range 0.50-1 per cent. The Nifty 500 index, which captures 92.30 per cent of the free-float market capitalisation of NSE-listed stocks, was up by around 0.30 per cent.

On the sectoral front, Nifty Auto, Nifty FMCG, Nifty IT, Nifty Media, and Nifty Pharma led the gains. Most of the major sectoral indices were trading in the green in the morning trade. However, Nifty Private Bank and Nifty Realty were showing back-and-forth motion around flat levels.

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) began its three-day meeting today, with markets widely expecting a 25-basis point (bps) rate cut. The decision, to be announced by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra on June 6, is likely to set the tone for the central bank’s monetary outlook amid easing inflation and mixed economic signals.

Investors will closely watch the RBI’s commentary for cues on future rate moves, liquidity management, and its assessment of both domestic growth and global risks.
